Villa Santa Colomba

Palaces and Aristocratic Residences

Villa Santa Colomba is a Renaissance fortress-palace in the village of Santa Colomba, a frazione of Monteriggioni near Siena in Tuscany, Italy. An earlier castle-like building on the site was badly damaged in 1364 during raids by the condottiero John Hawkwood, and the present villa was built in the late 15th and early 16th centuries for Pandolfo Petrucci, possibly to a design by Baldassarre Peruzzi. The property later belonged to Sienas Piccolomini family and, by an 1840 inventory, to the Tolomei family.
