Campigliola Tower
Following the Cassia Road (SS2) to the southern
end of the Val d' Orcia you can find the indication to reach Campiglia
d' Orcia, towards the Summit of the Amiata Mount. The Tower of the Campigliola
can be reached only by foot from the town.
The Tower of the Campigliola, the
only rest of the Rocca of Campigliola or Campigliaccia, is an old fortification
of sighting, located on the ridge of the rocky spur that overlook the
country of Campiglia d' Orcia. Today is a ruin reacheable only by foot,
it has a square shape and to the inside we can still admire the ceiling
of the first floor, considered one of the most beautiful barrel vault
of the whole Tuscany. Of the other buildings that once completed the fortification
there are no more traces.
