Description
Immersed among the picturesque hills of Romagna Toscana, in the province of Forlì-Cesena, this imposing castle is now for sale. Built in 1564 by order of Cosimo I de' Medici and designed by the architect Baldassarre Lanci, the castle is a magnificent example of a well-preserved historic fortress.
Under the guidance of Cosimo I, known for his passion for art and architecture, numerous fortifications were built in Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna. This castle, originally conceived as a solid defensive structure, retains its imposing and majestic appearance, just as it did during its construction.
Inside, the first floor is dominated by grand halls with precious wood ceilings, perfect for prestigious events, celebrations, and business meetings. The interiors are decorated with splendid frescoes by Felice Giani, adorning the walls and ceilings, and include majestic galleries that once served as watchtowers.
A vast panoramic terrace of 360 square meters overlooks a green lawn, while a charming external courtyard, adorned with ancient trees and plants, adds further elegance to the property.
Currently, the castle is a private residence that includes, in addition to the main fortress, a series of residential spaces with finely decorated wooden ceilings. The property also includes a restaurant equipped with late 18th-century copper stills, a passageway gallery, three areas used as guard rooms, and evocative Medici cellars with ancient wooden barrels.
Carefully preserved by various owners over the centuries, the complex continues to reflect the grandeur and legacy of the Medici family.
