Castello di Romena, Medieval castle in Pratovecchio, Italy.
The castle complex consists of three central towers and remnants of defensive walls positioned on a hill at 621 meters above the Arno River.
First documented in 1008 as residence of Count Guido Alberto, the fortress transferred to the Guidi family through marriage in the 12th century.
The castle appears in Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy, referencing the 1281 incident where counterfeit gold florins were produced within its walls.
The castle remains open for visits through a restored drawbridge at the Postierla tower, with guided tours available upon reservation.
The prison tower featured a system where inmates were lowered through a trapdoor, with their descent depth determined by their crime severity.
