This ancient fortification towers over the medieval village and offers a spectacular panoramic view of the entire surrounding valley. Together with the nearby Rocca di Tentennano (located in Castiglione d'Orcia but in the hamlet of Rocca d'Orcia), it constituted a strategic defensive system for the control of the Via Francigena. Recently, it has undergone important restoration work which has allowed its reopening to the public, making the remains of the keep and the perimeter walls visitable.
