Castle of Rocchette di Fazio, Medieval fortress in Semproniano, Italy.

The Castle of Rocchette di Fazio stands on a limestone cliff at 500 meters elevation, overlooking the Albegna River valley in Tuscany.

The fortress was constructed by the Aldobrandeschi family in the late 12th century and named after Count Bonifazio, who led the San Fiora branch in 1272.

The castle complex includes the original Rocca structure, the Palazzo di Giustizia courthouse, and the Palazzo Pretorio, representing medieval administrative functions.

The castle sits 56 kilometers from Grosseto, 25 kilometers from Arcidosso, and 15 kilometers from both Roccalbegna and Saturnia thermal springs.

A Spanish army devastated the castle in 1536, leading to its abandonment, with the ruins remaining untouched until recent restoration efforts.
