Castello di Legri, Medieval castle in Calenzano, Italy.

Castello di Legri is a medieval architectural complex in the hamlet of Legri, in the municipality of Calenzano. It keeps its medieval tower and main building, both topped with battlements, while the garden dates from the Baroque period. A small oratory, originally the castle's private chapel, stands beside the buildings.

The complex was built in the medieval period by Frederick Barbarossa as a lookout and defence point over the road between the castle of Calenzano and the Mugello hills. In the 14th century its military role became secondary and it was gradually abandoned, turning into a rural farm complex without changes to its original architecture. Between the 17th and 18th centuries renovation work enlarged the complex.

The small oratory beside the complex was originally the castle's gentilizio chapel, the private place of worship of the family that held Legri. The garden, laid out in the Baroque period, belongs to the phase when the medieval military structures were kept but the complex was enlarged as a rural estate.

The complex stands in the hamlet of Legri, in the municipality of Calenzano, on the road toward the Mugello hills. It is a rural estate, not a staffed monument, so visits depend on the owners' permission; ask in advance through the local tourist office. The medieval tower and the main building keep their battlements, and the Baroque garden lies beside them.

The small oratory beside the complex was originally the castle's private noble chapel. The medieval tower and the main building both keep their battlemented tops, while the garden layout dates to the Baroque period, between the 17th and 18th centuries.
