THE POPULONIA CASTLE

BUILT IN THE 15^th CENTURY, DURING THE SEIGNORY OF THE APPIANI FAMILY, FOR DEFENSIVE PURPOSE, WAS MADE OF STONES BELONGING TO THE ANCIENT ETRUSCAN WALLS OF POPULONIA. IT IS ENCLOSED AMONG THE POPULONIA'S WALLS, AS AN EXAMPLE OF ITALIAN FEUDAL FORTRESS. IT RISES ON THE TOP OF THE HILL THAT OVERLOOKS THE TUSCAN ARCHIPELAGO AND THE BAY OF BARATTI, IN AN INCOMPARABLE MEDITERRANEAN LANDSCAPE.
