Castello di Calenzano, Medieval fortress in Calenzano, Italy
The stone castle stands on a 200-meter hill between the Calvana Mountains and Morello Mountain, with two entrance gates and angular towers.
The Guidi family transformed the wooden structure into a brick fortress in the late 12th century after receiving authorization from Emperor Enrico VI.
The castle houses the Municipal Museum of Historical Figurines, which presents European and local history through detailed miniature models.
The castle sits 14 kilometers north of Florence and visitors can reach it by taking the A1 highway and following signs to the Historical Figurine Museum.
The castle features a preserved 15th-century Palazzo del Podestà, now known as Villa Arrighetti, which served as a governmental residence.
