Castello di Montefiridolfi, Medieval castle in San Casciano in Val di Pesa, Italy.

The castle features a trapezoidal layout with two courtyards, including one containing an artesian well and original stone walls.

The Buondelmonti family owned the castle from 1015, and in March 1480 it served as an ammunition storage facility before losing strategic importance.

The property transformation from military fortress to villa in the 16th century reflects the changing roles of Tuscan defensive structures during peacetime.

Located 25 kilometers from Florence, the castle includes a farmhouse with a wellness center, villa, swimming pool, and private park.

An underground passage extends hundreds of meters from the castle down to the river plain through the Tuscan countryside.
