Castello di Strozzavolpe, Medieval castle in Poggibonsi, Italy

The castle stands on a hill near Luco, featuring irregular perimeter walls with access through a reconstructed tower that functions as an ancient keep.

First documented in 1154 as Scoriavolpe, the castle changed ownership from the Salimbeni family to the Adimari of Florence in 1330, surviving wars and transformations.

The castle maintains a collection of historical weapons within its halls, representing the medieval defensive architecture of the Tuscan region.

The structure operates as a private residence under the Banchi-Arcangeli family ownership and accepts visitors through advance reservation arrangements.

The castle entrance requires crossing a wooden bridge that leads to the main portal, passing through a path lined with cypress trees.
