Castello di Montepò, Medieval castle in Scansano, Italy.
The stone fortress displays a rectangular layout with four corner towers surrounding an internal courtyard featuring brick-covered facade walls.

The castle represents a rare example of Sienese fortified architecture from the Renaissance period, demonstrating the evolution of military structures.
