Castle of Cosona, Medieval castle in Pienza, Italy.
The stone fortress stands on a hilltop overlooking the Tuscan countryside, featuring defensive walls and architectural elements from different historical periods.
The castle's first written mention dates back to 828 during the Carolingian era, when it was documented as both a hamlet and fortified structure.
The property includes the parish church of Santa Maria in Cosona, positioned along a road connecting the Via Francigena to Via Laurentana pilgrimage routes.
The castle complex now functions as a farm stay accommodation, offering self-catering facilities, a saltwater swimming pool, and activities such as hiking and cycling.
The castle appears in the 1996 film 'The English Patient', which received nine Academy Awards and showcased partial views of the property.
