Castello Sonnino, Gothic Revival castle in Quercianella, Italy.
The stone castle stands on coastal cliffs near Livorno, featuring a tower, small battlements, and an exterior chapel overlooking the Tuscan sea.
Cosimo III de Medici initiated the castle construction from an existing tower, and in 1895 the property transferred to Italian Prime Minister Sidney Sonnino.
The castle represents the architectural preferences of Italian nobility during the late 1800s, incorporating Gothic Revival elements in its design and structure.
The privately owned castle opens for scheduled visits through guided tours, with access from Via Aurelia in the Quercianella district of Livorno.
Sidney Sonnino commissioned a personal sarcophagus within a grotto on the castle grounds, choosing this location as his final resting place.
