Signa Castello, Medieval castle in Signa, Italy
The castle stands on a hill overlooking the town, featuring stone walls, defensive towers, and an entrance gate from the 14th century.
Dating back to 1000 CE, the castle served as the initial settlement core of Signa and maintained its defensive role through numerous regional conflicts.
The castle grounds host traditional festivals in September, including historical parades and archery competitions that connect to medieval traditions.
Located 20 kilometers northwest of Florence, the castle can be reached by train, with narrow streets leading from the station to the hilltop location.
The castle area contains residential houses with flower-decorated balconies integrated into the ancient defensive walls, creating a living historical district.
