Rocca aldobrandesca, Medieval fortress in Capalbio, Italy

The Rocca Aldobrandesca consists of a quadrangular tower and the adjacent Palazzo Collacchioni, positioned at the highest point of the historic center.

The fortress changed ownership from the Abbey of Tre Fontane to the Aldobrandeschi family in the 1200s, before coming under Sienese control in the 15th century.

The palace contains period furnishings and a Conrad Graf piano that composer Giacomo Puccini played during his stays at Torre della Tagliata.

Visitors can access guided tours and purchase tickets at the tourist information office on the ground floor of the fortress complex.

The fortress features a crenellated terrace that provides views extending across the Tuscan hills toward the Mediterranean Sea.
