Castel di Pietra

The castle, built during the Late Middle Ages on the top of a cliff to dominate the plain of Grosseto and the Metalliferous hills, has always been a strategic landmark for all the noble families who lived in it. Archaeological excavations between 1997 and 2007 unearthed several characteristic elements such as walls and the remains of a small tower, the main core of the entire structure. Photo credit: Lorenzo Biagini.
