アレッツォの洞窟・トップ20

Montecchio Vesponi Castle dominates the Val di Chio from a hill over 360 meters above sea level. With its crenellated walls, towers, and an imposing 30-meter-high square tower, it is one of the best-preserved medieval castles in Tuscany and can be recognized from afar throughout the valley. Contested for centuries by Arezzo and Florence for its strategic position on the road to Cortona, it became a Florentine stronghold after the Battle of Campaldino in 1289. In the 14th century, it was also home to the famous mercenary captain John Hawkwood. Today, the castle comes back to life with guided tours, events, and reenactments that evoke the atmosphere of the Middle Ages.

Piazza Baldaccio, the start and finish of the Intrepida, a historic cycling event held in Anghiari in October.

Great views and resting areas all around the castle.

I recommend a stop with a visit to understand the battle of Campaldino

short path, you reach the parish church from the fields, ..rather suggestive. ..

A small place but lots to see and the birthplace of Francis

Castello dei Conti Guidi, beautiful stone village. Wonderful view.

In Setteponti, shortly after Poggio Bagnoli coming from Arezzo, there is a fork on the left and immediately a dirt road, but in excellent condition. Climb of just under 3 km, gentle with only a few steeper points. At the top, views of both sides, Valdambra and Valdarno.
