- Fortezza di Montalcino - The fortress features a unique structure for its time, with a pentagonal plan as opposed to the square plans of earlier fortifications. It has a tower at each corner.
- Palazzo dei Priori - This palace is one of the most characteristic elements of the village. Built in the 13th-14th century, it has a high crenellated tower and a portico with lowered vaults, featuring a 16th-century statue of Cosimo I dei Medici. The façade and the side facing the square display numerous heraldic coats of arms of the podestà families who have governed the city over the centuries.
