    Located at 651m above sea level, the Medicea or Girifalco fortress is located at the top of the hill overlooking Cortona (AR), a little higher than the basilica of Santa Margherita.

    It was built in 1556 by Gabrio Serbelloni and Francesco Laparelli from Cortona at the behest of the Grand Duke of Tuscany Cosimo I de 'Medici. The fortress stands on the ruins of a previous one from the 12th century which was built on the remains of Etruscan walls.
