Castello di Gressa, Medieval castle in Bibbiena, Italy.

The castle features two distinct wall structures: an irregular polygonal outer wall and an octagonal inner wall reaching 5 meters in height.

Bishop Elemperto ordered the construction of the castle between the 10th and early 11th centuries when he led the Arezzo diocese from 986 to 1010.

The castle includes the Church of San Jacopo, residential buildings, and two water cisterns within its stone walls made of sandstone and limestone.

Visitors can access the castle by following the road from Bibbiena to La Verna, with signs starting from the Tripoli district.

During World War II, German military forces used the castle as an advanced observation post in the Archiano valley.
