Sorano, Medieval hilltop commune in southern Tuscany, Italy.
The fortress of Sorano stands at 379 meters above sea level, featuring stone buildings connected by narrow streets within the Grosseto province.
The territory of Sorano emerged as a significant settlement in the 3rd century BC under Etruscan influence before becoming an Aldobrandeschi stronghold in 862.
The Fortezza Orsini, constructed in the 14th century and renovated during the Renaissance period, represents the architectural heritage of this Tuscan settlement.
The municipality extends across 174 square kilometers and maintains regular bus connections to major Tuscan cities through regional transportation networks.
The town incorporates buildings directly into tufo rock formations, creating a continuous blend between natural geological features and constructed spaces.
