The ancient church of San Biagio stands majestically in front of Montepulciano and is one of the many tourist attractions. Made from local Travertine marble it glows incandesiantly in the evening sunlight.
La Casina is just 4km from the ancient walled city Montepulciano. The city has kept many old traditions, including the annual Palio.
