Rocca di Radicofani

The fortress sits atop a basalt cliff at 896 meters, with five bastions connected by underground tunnels and defensive walls surrounding the structure.

First documented in 973 AD, the fortress changed hands between the Papal States, Siena Republic, and Florentine rulers throughout its military history.

The fortress museum displays archaeological findings from Bronze Age settlements and artifacts spanning through the sixteenth century across three exhibition floors.

The site includes guided tours through illuminated underground passages, access to defensive positions, and a viewing terrace at nearly 1000 meters elevation.

A functioning medieval catapult remains at the fortress, demonstrating the military engineering capabilities of its construction period.
