Il Corno Castle is located in San Pancrazio, in the municipality of San Casciano in Val di Pesa, in the heart of Tuscany. Built in the 12th century by the Florentine Del Corno family as a defensive garrison between Florence and Siena, the castle was expanded and modified over the centuries. In the 16th century, it passed to the Strozzi family, who consolidated the structure and the surrounding lands, creating a unified core of farms. The building still retains medieval features, such as towers and stone walls, alongside later structures with broad façades and regular openings, typical of Tuscan rural residences. Today, the estate is surrounded by vineyards and olive groves and hosts an agriturismo, offering a combination of history, architecture, and the typical landscape of the Florentine countryside.

You can see not only the spectacular skyline, but also far into the surrounding countryside.

Sir…back to the past! Like knights on the horse of steel, carbon or aluminum along the path that leads to the fort (the city of San Gimignano).

Lonely church of Semifonte

Porta San Matteo is a historic gate in San Gimignano. The gate, built in 1262, is named after Via San Matteo, the main road that passes through the gate. This road was the part of the Francigena that ran through the city from north to south. Along Via di San Matteo there are remarkable buildings such as the Pesciolini House-Tower, a clipped tower from the thirteenth century; the beautiful Chiesa di San Bartolo; the Cancelleria Palazzo. After passing through the gate, a fascinating tour of houses, palaces and medieval towers awaits. The gate was built in the Sienese style and offers a fascinating view of the city as it would have looked in the Middle Ages.

In the Elsa Valley, the fifteen feudal towers of San Gimignano beckon to the sky as if to a loved one. From the Porta San Giovanni to the Piazza della Cisterna, walkers wonder if they have been taken back to the Middle Ages in a time machine. Imagine the great stone structures, where there once stood 72, adorned with banners of three fabrics, painted with saffron as they could only do here! San Gemignano, a bit of a victim of its own success, is always teeming with tourists, but the magic remains nevertheless.

With a view of San Michele a Strada you are at the border of the town of San Geminiano, the town in Siena famous for its towers and therefore also on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Beautiful medieval town. In the old town you can only push your bike.
