Castel di Poggio

The castle features original stone tower and restored medieval buildings surrounded by cypress trees, pine groves, and cultivated olive gardens.

The fortress, initially destroyed by Florence authorities in 1348 to eliminate Manzecca's feudal power, underwent reconstruction by Alessandri family in 1469.

The property transformed from a noble residence through multiple family ownerships including Girolami, Bonaccorsi, Marucelli, Brunaccini, and Forteguerri families.

Current management by a foundation operates the castle as a cultural center, requiring advance arrangements for visits to explore the grounds.

The castle grounds contain a mix of holm oaks, chestnut trees, oak trees, and decorative statues scattered throughout the maintained forest.
