The Castle of Arcidosso (also known as Rocca Aldobrandesca) is one of the oldest and best-preserved medieval fortresses in Italy and Europe, dating back to a period between the 9th and 10th centuries. Located at the highest point of the historic center of Arcidosso, on Monte Amiata, the building was constructed on pre-existing Lombard structures by the powerful Aldobrandeschi family.
