Belagaio Castle, Medieval castle in Roccastrada, Italy

The castle stands in the Val di Farma Nature Reserve with its quadrangular structure and battlemented tower overlooking the surrounding valley.

First mentioned in 1187, the fortress belonged to the Aldobrandeschi family before passing under Siena's control during the thirteenth century.

The castle features architectural elements including carved windows, a neoromanesque chapel, and a tower that housed a sunlit library away from daily activities.

The castle underwent major renovations between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, transforming it from a military fortress into a residential villa.

The entrance portal with its rusticated stonework was transferred from a private residence in nearby Torniella village.
