Porciano Castle, Medieval castle in Pratovecchio Stia, Italy
The stone fortress rises 35 meters high across six levels, with remnants of fortified walls, two towers, and two entrance gates in Tuscany.
First documented in 1017, the castle served as residence for Count Guido di Teudegrimo, founder of the Porciano branch of the Guidi family.
The castle's reception hall, Salone di Dante, contains exhibitions of domestic tools, agricultural implements, and Native American artifacts from various collections.
Located at Via Dante Alighieri 1 in Stia, the castle stands one kilometer from the Arno river and can be reached via the SS.70 road.
Local tales speak of a golden bell hidden within the castle walls, said to hold value equivalent to the entire Casentino region.
