Radda in Chianti Attractions

From Castellina a country road makes its way to Radda (13km/8mi east) before skirting the southern slopes of the Chianti hills. Radda (533m/1,749ft), in the possession of the Counts Guidi from before the year 1000, passed in 1203 into the hands of the Florentine Republic and from 1415 was the headquarters of the Chianti League. Still encircled by its medieval walls, the pretty town center makes an inviting setting for a walk.
