Castello di Montauto, Medieval castle in Anghiari, Italy
The castle stretches along a hilltop at 786 meters, featuring a cylindrical corner tower and a two-story building known as the Armsmen's House.
Constructed in 1170, the castle remained the residence of the Barbolani family until 1815, when the county merged with the Grand Duchy of Tuscany.
Saint Francis of Assisi visited the castle and donated his robe to feudal lord Alberto II Barbolani, which remained in the fortress chapel until 1503.
The castle stands on Strada Provinciale 57 in Anghiari, under protection of the Superintendency for artistic and architectural heritage of Italy.
A flame would appear near the saint's robe three days before the death of any Barbolani family member, according to local accounts.
