Piccolomini Castle, Medieval castle in Balsorano, Italy.
The Piccolomini Castle displays a pentagonal structure with circular towers at each corner, surrounded by a landscaped park in Balsorano.
Antonio Piccolomini, nephew of Pope Pius II, constructed this fortified residence in 1460 during the transition between Medieval and Renaissance periods.
The castle represents the architectural evolution from defensive fortress to noble residence, incorporating both Medieval military elements and Renaissance refinements.
Visitors can access the castle through the main entrance in the park and explore the L-shaped internal courtyard with its central stone well.
The castle functions as a hotel while maintaining its original stone construction and architectural features from the 15th century.
