Sambuca Castle

Highlight • Castle

Picturesque hamlet of the municipality of Sambuca Pistoiese, dominated by the remains of the castle of the same name, also known as "Castello della Selvaggia". Perched on a high ridge from which it dominates the Limentra valley, the castle was for a long time a strategic outpost guarding the Via Francesca della Sambuca, an important road link between Pistoia and the Po Valley.

Here it is possible to admire the remains of the fortress, located at the highest point of the fortifications, including remains of the layout of the walls and the soaring tower of the keep, preserved for a third of its original height, which exceeded 20 meters.
