Manciano, Medieval commune in southern Tuscany, Italy

The hilltop town of Manciano stands at 444 meters above sea level, offering views across the Fiora and Albegna river valleys.

The Rocca Aldobrandesca fortress, constructed in the 15th century by the Republic of Siena, replaced an earlier 12th-century castle built by the Aldobrandeschi family.

The Museum of Prehistory in Palazzo Nardelli exhibits archaeological findings from the Paleolithic through Bronze Age periods of the Fiora Valley region.

The municipality encompasses seven distinct districts, including Montemerano, Saturnia, Marsiliana, and Poggio Murella, each with their own distinct characteristics.

The silver platter of Ardabur Aspar, dating from 434 CE, was discovered in the Fosso Castione creek near the Marsiliana district.
