Palazzo Sforza Cesarini

The Palazzo Sforza Cesarini features stone walls with rectangular windows, round-arched doors on the ground floor, and two medieval towers facing the main square.

Built in 1575 upon foundations of an Aldobrandeschi fortress from 1000, the palace became the center of power for the County of Santa Fiora.

Inside the palace, the Sala del Popolo displays the original gilded Sforza coat of arms and two cycles of seventeenth-century frescoes depicting The Four Seasons.

The palace currently serves as Santa Fiora's Town Hall and houses the Museum of Mercury Mines of Mount Amiata, offering visitors insights into local mining history.

The Clock Tower maintains its medieval character with a cordonated base and battlements added during nineteenth-century restorations, featuring a clock facing the square.
