Built 1561-1563 by order of Duke Cosimo de' Medici after the fall of the Sienese Republic. Now a peaceful public park with panoramic views. Houses the Enoteca Italiana – a center for Tuscan wine tasting. Perfect for a break away from the crowds.
Park always open. Enoteca has separate hours (closed Sunday). Wine tasting is paid.
Sunset for beautiful light and views. Popular with locals for evening walks. The fortress gardens offer shade in summer heat. Wine tasting best on weekday afternoons.
