Castello di Montemassi, Medieval ruins in Roccastrada, Italy.
The Castle of Montemassi stands on a 280-meter hill, featuring a northern keep with multiple windows and remnants of a polygonal tower.
Originally owned by Count Ildebrando in 1076, the castle became a stronghold of the Aldobrandeschi family during the thirteenth century.
The famous fresco in Siena's Palazzo Pubblico by Simone Martini depicts the 1328 siege of the castle by Guidoriccio da Fogliano.
Visitors can access the castle from Florence by taking the Florence-Siena motorway to Civitella Marittima exit, then following SS223 toward Grosseto for 23 kilometers.
Recent renovations in 2023 transformed sections of the ancient structure into spaces for cultural events and civil marriage ceremonies.
