THE RADICOFANI FORTRESS
Unique views of the Amiata-Val D'Orcia area
La Radicofani Fortress where once, in the distant 13th century, the bandit Ghino di Tacco took refuge to control the route on the Via Francigena where he robbed unsuspecting travellers.
The “Rocca di Ghino di Tacco” offers a example of a characteristic medieval fortress and a 360 degree panorama of Amiata and the surrounding valleys.
Underground tunnels, galleries that lead to the five bastions, fully illuminated and open to visitors, and to the keep (old fortress) with its tower. Inside you can also visit the Museum, spread over several floors, up to the terrace of the battlements, almost 1000 meters above sea level.
This is the highest point in the whole Val d'Orcia.
