Castello di Porrona

The castle stands at the western corner of Porrona's walls, featuring a main building with multiple levels and a tower topped by corded battlements.

The Sienese constructed the castle in the early 13th century, which later became a residence for noble families including the Tolomei and Piccolomini.

The castle structure incorporates a central square housing the San Donato church, representing the traditional architecture of medieval Tuscan fortifications.

The castle provides accommodations in restored cottages and hosts a restaurant called Il Fienile, serving regional dishes in a converted barn setting.

The castle walls integrate with modern houses while maintaining their original fortified structure, offering views across the Maremma Grossetana region.
