Castello Villanova, Medieval castle in Barberino di Mugello, Italy.
The castle features a rectangular tower transformed into a bell tower, with two entrance gates and sections of original stone walls.
The Ubaldini family controlled the castle around 1250, followed by the Bettini family, before Marquis Ottavio Gerini purchased it in 1611.
The San Jacopo Church, established in 1331 within the castle walls, remained a central religious structure until the property changed functions.
The castle offers spaces for ceremonies and conventions, with halls accommodating up to 200 people for weddings and business gatherings.
The castle underwent transformation from a medieval fortress to a school, then a nunnery, and now serves as an events venue.
