Cassero Senese, Medieval fortification in Grosseto, Italy
The rectangular stone tower of Cassero Senese features travertine exterior cladding, a covered terrace, and a characteristic double arch entrance pattern.
The Republic of Siena completed this military structure in 1345 to establish control over the Maremma region through physical and symbolic presence.
The structure displays the black and white coat of arms of Siena on its external wall, representing the medieval power dynamics of Tuscan territories.
The fortification contains exhibition spaces across three levels and serves as the municipal wedding celebration venue for the city of Grosseto.
This fortification and Porta Vecchia remain the only medieval elements preserved during the 16th-century reconstruction of Grosseto's city walls.
