Castello di Oliveto, 15th century fortified villa in Castelfiorentino, Italy.
The rectangular castle features four tall crenellated corner towers, red brick walls, and stone fortifications overlooking the Pescaiola stream valley.
Built in 1424 by Puccio Pucci, the castle changed ownership to the Guicciardini family in 1850 through the marriage of Paolina Pucci.
Lorenzo de Medici, Popes Leo X, Clement VII, Paul III, and King Vittorio Emanuele III stayed within these medieval walls throughout history.
The castle functions as a venue for weddings, cooking classes, wine tastings, and farm holiday accommodations, located 30 kilometers from Florence.
An underground passage connects the courtyard well to the valley below, originally designed as a secret escape route during medieval conflicts.
