Tips

Capalbio is mentioned in the Leonine-Carolingian Bull with which Charlemagne confirmed the territorial concession to the Roman Abbey of Tre Fontane in 805. In the 14th century it became part of the possessions of the Aldobrandeschi, who built the fortress there, surrounded by a double wall dominating a vast territory. Subsequently, Capalbio came under the control of the Orsini, was conquered by the Sienese in the 15th century and by the Spanish in the 16th century.

From that moment on, a slow but inexorable economic and demographic decline began, due to the spread of malaria in the area, until the 1950s, when the lands were reclaimed and malaria defeated.

This section of the path with a magnificent view can be easily integrated into any walk. There is a great atmosphere here in the evenings. A dream to spend the sunset here with an ice cream in hand or on the terrace of the restaurant.

Highest point within the city walls with a panoramic view. Visiting the palazzo and climbing the tower costs a few euros, which is certainly necessary to preserve this monument from the XI. Century.
