    Tips

    June 24, 2022

    The castle of Volterraio is perfectly built beneath the impassable rock and dominates the northern part of the island. The excellent position was absolutely suitable for repelling attacks or serving as a refuge.



    When you reach the summit, you immediately discover that time has also claimed its victims here, but the fascination of this fortification has remained absolutely intact: the wall ring, the stair access over the former drawbridge, the battlement with the watchtower, the square tower, rooms and vaults , the remains of an oven, wells and cisterns, warehouses and underground passages, battlements and embrasures.
