Castello dei Conti Guidi, Medieval castle in Vinci, Italy.

The Castello dei Conti Guidi stands in the center of Vinci, featuring an elongated structure with a tower that resembles a sailing ship's profile.

The castle, originally constructed in the 12th century, returned to municipal ownership in 1919 after centuries under various noble families' control.

Since 1953, the castle houses the Museo Leonardiano, displaying models, machines, and studies related to Leonardo da Vinci's scientific innovations.

Visitors can access multiple exhibition rooms across different floors, culminating in a panoramic terrace with views of Montalbano hills and Apuan Alps.

The castle exhibits ceramic statues reconstructed from Leonardo's anatomical drawings and contains the Sala del Podestà with historical coats of arms.
