Going past the Church of San Giorgio and the arched door, you arrive at via dello Spedale, from here it is possible to admire the majesty of the surrounding walls, built between 1200 and 1300 and enlarged by the Sienese during the 15th century.

The walls are made up of three sections, which give it the famous heart shape, the first section is made up of the oldest walls, the second from the walls built to connect the first wall to the church and the third one which also incorporates the church and the new homes.

6 bastions were part of the walls, today only 4 remain, the first is annexed to the rectory and flanks Porta San Giorgio, two other towers in excellent condition are located along the walls towards the west, while a fourth is partially collapsed, in front of one of the towers stood the Church of the Madonna delle Nevi, with an annexed hospital.
