Description

Bivio per Rovine di Castelvecchio is a fascinating ruin of a medieval settlement located in the heart of the Tuscan forest.

Dating back to the 6th and 7th centuries, the remains include three towers, a church, and numerous houses and mills that witnessed the long-running conflicts between San Gimignano and Volterra.

The site combines natural beauty with a rich history - a short walk through dense forest leads to the ruins, where you can admire traces of the former splendor of this strategic point at the intersection of Via Francigena and Via del Sale.
