Rosignano Castle sits atop the hill overlooking the town center. Its origins are ancient: it was first an Etruscan fortress, then a Roman castrum, and finally a medieval fortress, important for its position, which allowed it to control both the hills behind it and the sea. It was also the residence of the Medici family, who strengthened its fortifications with two towers. The castle was not only a fortress, but also encompassed several other buildings: a church, a building of the Archbishopric of Pisa, the seat of the municipal authorities, homes and shops, and noble palaces belonging to the Vestrini, Marini, and Bombardieri families. The latter currently houses the Rosignano Archaeological Museum; Opened in 1996 and spread over three floors, it houses architectural elements and furnishings from Roman villas, underwater finds from Roman shipwrecks along the coast, and various funerary objects discovered in the Etruscan necropolises of Castiglioncello and Vada. Particularly interesting is the reconstruction of a Roman-era domus, complete with furnishings and everyday objects. The museum has an educational approach, accessible each year to thousands of teachers and students of all ages, thanks to guides, multimedia, models, panels, and captions. From Piazzale Vestrini, especially at sunset and on clear days, you can enjoy a magnificent view of Rosignano Marittimo, the coast, and the islands. Ample parking is available in the area adjacent to the tower. Closed on Mondays, open Tuesday through Sunday (9:00-13:00 in the winter and 17:00-20:00 in the summer).

The small, medieval hamlet of Querceto, dating back to 1082, is located on Monte Aneo at an altitude of 260 m above the Cecina River. Querceto means "oak forest" and can only be reached via a narrow, winding path. The ascent and descent are challenging and are a great destination for racing cyclists who love altitude.

Worth a visit at any time of year.

Querceto, a delightful hamlet in the municipality of Montecatini Val di Cecina (province of Pisa), boasts an ancient castle in the center of the village. Built in the 16th century, the current building has been owned by the François family, originally from Haute-Savoie, for over 120 years. The castle can still be visited today: wine tourism tours are often organized.

Great view of the sea

A fantastic place to unwind…
