Rocca Aldobrandesca, Medieval fortress in Suvereto, Italy

The Rocca Aldobrandesca features a square tower connected to a palace structure, with stone walls containing arrow slits at different levels.

Built by the Aldobrandeschi family in the 12th century, this fortress served as a defensive stronghold until its transformation into residential units in later centuries.

The fortress museum displays exhibitions about Emperor Henry VII and Princess Elisa Bonaparte Baciocchi, representing the regional power dynamics through centuries.

Located on a hill overlooking Suvereto, the fortress can be accessed via the SS1 Aurelia highway, taking the Venturina/Piombino exit followed by SS398 road.

The entrance portal includes a Roman arch design and stone staircase, while the interior preserved stone columns that once supported wooden floors.
