Situated at the highest point of the village, this ancient medieval castle dominates the valley, offering one of the most evocative views of the Casentino. The remains of the fortification make it the perfect place for a scenic stop to discover the historical roots of the landscape.

Overlooking the Solano Valley from a panoramic hilltop, this imposing fortress-palace was one of the Guidi Counts' most powerful strongholds and still retains the charm of its medieval keep and 15th-century mullioned windows. The village, accessible by an ancient stone bridge, tells a thousand-year history of resistance and rebirth, representing one of the most iconic and best-restored profiles in the entire Casentino.
