    The climb to reach the castle will initially make you regret not staying in the valley, but the square, the gardens, and the view over the Arno valley and the mountains of the Casentinesi Forests will repay the effort. The castle has a square tower and can also be visited inside, where it houses a library, a chapel and a historical museum.

    Poppi Castle is the main monument of the Casentino. Unlike all the other castles and medieval architecture in the area, it has not been ruined by time and men, having always been used as the residence of the local political or administrative power, in fact the Municipality of Poppi is still located there today. Since its origins, the history of the castle has been closely linked to that of the largest feudal family in Casentino who placed Poppi at the center of its large properties and inhabited this manor for almost four hundred years: the Guidi counts.

    The arrival at the Castle of the Guidi Counts is immediately announced by a bronze statue depicting Dante Alighieri, which overlooks the Casentino valley and the Campaldino plain, where in 1289 Dante himself, among the ranks of the Florentine Guelphs, fought against the Arezzo Ghibellines.
