The small town in the Chianti Classico region has Etruscan origins, as demonstrate the finds kept in the Museo archeologico del Chianti housed in the Rocca, an imposing fortress dating back to the 15th century.
The church of San Salvatore - which houses a fresco by Bicci di Lorenzo and a Renaissance wooden statue - and the charming via delle Volte - an underground passageway that encircles the town's historic centre and is lined with shops, craft workshops and restaurants - are worth a visit as well.
The Etruscan tomb of Montecalvario and the Etruscan necropolis of Poggino are a few kilometres from Castellina in Chianti.
