Castle of Cosona, Medieval castle in Pienza, Italy.

The castle of Cosona is a fortified complex in the countryside of Pienza, along Provincial Road 71. It consists of several buildings joined together across 15 sides, with a square-section tower rising on the western front. A well-cistern built in 1659 stands in the complex, and a 19th-century rectangular granary bears two coats of arms of the Forteguerri family.

The fortified complex was built during the 15th century as a fortified farm and passed through numerous owners. In the 19th century a rectangular building was added and used as a granary. At the start of the 20th century the Sienese architect Arturo Viligiardi restored the whole complex, and in 1913 a chapel was created inside a pre-existing agricultural building.

The chapel inside the complex was created in 1913, during Arturo Viligiardi's restoration, in a building previously used for other agricultural purposes. The nineteenth-century granary carries two coats of arms of the Forteguerri family, who commissioned it. Seven independent apartments now occupy former sharecropper homes, lived in until the 1970s.

The complex stands along Provincial Road 71 in the countryside of Pienza, with the square tower rising on the western front. The seven independent apartments of the agriturismo occupy buildings that housed sharecropping families until the 1970s. The fortified complex is made of several attached buildings articulated over 15 sides, so expect an irregular layout rather than a single courtyard.

The sources do not mention any film connection. A detail visitors often overlook is the well-cistern built in 1659 and restored in 1913, used to collect water for life in the castle. The nineteenth-century granary carries two coats of arms of the Forteguerri family, who commissioned the building.
