Castle of Donoratico, Medieval castle ruins in Donoratico, Italy
The Castle of Donoratico features a prominent tower and double-walled fortification situated on a hill overlooking the Tyrrhenian coast.
The stone fortress, first documented in 1176, served as the main stronghold of the Della Gherardesca family until its destruction by King Alfonso of Aragon in 1447.
Archaeological excavations at the site revealed Etruscan artifacts, ceramic remnants, and stone fortifications, indicating settlement patterns dating back to ancient civilizations.
The castle remains stand within the private La Torre estate, requiring visitors to follow the SS1 Aurelia and SP16 roads before turning right after one kilometer.
The southern wall of the main tower maintains its original height, displaying medieval construction techniques through its preserved architectural elements.
