Visit the Fortress of Castrocaro
Unique in type and size, the Castrocaro Fortress is composed of three distinct structures:
Girona, Fortress and Medicean Arsenal.
Inside the museum complex, you can visit the Medici fortress and armoury, the Castellano palace, the courtyard, the church of Santa Barbara, the prison tower, the troglodyte cave and the so-called 'balcony'.
Dall'Acquacheta', from where you can admire a breathtaking panorama as far as Monte Falterona.
The Museum of History and Archaeology called 'L'AQUILA, LE CHIAVI, IL GIGLIO' is housed in the rooms of the Palazzo del Castellano, where weapons, terracotta, paintings, furniture and antiques are on display.
