Castiglion Fiorentino, Medieval hilltop commune in Tuscany, Italy
The walled settlement sits at 342 meters elevation between Arezzo and Cortona, overlooking the Val di Chio and Valdichiana valleys in eastern Tuscany.
Archaeological excavations revealed Etruscan city walls from the 4th century BC beneath Piazzale del Cassero, marking the initial settlement of this strategic location.
The Municipal Art Gallery, housed in the former Sant'Angelo church, displays 13th-century goldsmith works and paintings by Margarito, Taddeo Gaddi, and Bartolomeo della Gatta.
The town maintains its medieval structure with gates, alleys, and fortifications leading to the Cassero tower, offering views across the surrounding Tuscan landscapes.
The Palio dei Rioni horse race occurs every third Sunday of June, continuing centuries-old traditions of flag-waving and competitive racing.
