Medieval Castle for sale in Siena

Apolloni & Blom exclusive sale of a remarkable and ’one-of-a-kind’ property consisting of an astonishing medieval castle with a spectacular view of the city of Siena. Perched on a hilltop with an amazing view of the city of Siena, surrounded by olive groves, Chianti vineyards and an endless panorama of the Crete Senesi, stands this fairy-tale castle, the most important one preserved intact in the area. Boasting four towers with medieval battlements, a grand entrance with a pointed arch opening onto an imposing inner courtyard inspired by the Cortile del Podestà of the Town Hall in Piazza del Campo, it was built in the 1300s as a defensive fortress and evolved into an aristocratic country residence after the fall of the Republic of Siena to the Grand Duchy of Tuscany in 1555. Since the end of 1855, the castle has been meticulously preserved by the family that still owns it today and has been able to convey this prestigious dwelling into the third millennium.
