A castle that's perhaps a little less well-known, but no less important. It's worth a visit inside; it's a magical place if combined with a good guided tour. We found ourselves at the door, and by chance, a lady who loved her job guided us with stories and anecdotes, transporting us back to a time long gone. Thank you 👏👏

The Medici Fortress was built between 1561 and 1563 at the behest of Cosimo I de' Medici on the ground where the Spanish citadel previously stood. The architect Baldassarre Lanci originally gave it an L-shape and later transformed it into a square structure. The brick fortress consists of wedge walls at the corners, on which the Medici travertine coat of arms is placed. Since 1937 the structure has been converted into a public garden. In summer, open-air cinema is offered on the grandstand. A nice playground and a really good fitness course with great equipment invite you to linger and attract a number of athletes.

The Roccaforte di Staggia Senese, also known as Castello di Staggia, is an impressive medieval fortress located in the municipality of Poggibonsi, in the province of Siena. The fortress dates back to the 10th century and has a rich history of conflict between the cities of Florence and Siena. The castle was expanded and fortified in the 14th century by the Franzesi family, and later by the Florentines, with the help of the famous architect Filippo Brunelleschi. The walls of the fortress are still largely intact and offer a fascinating insight into medieval military architecture. Today, the Rocca di Staggia is a popular tourist destination, where visitors can enjoy guided tours and events in a historical setting.
