Everything About the Dark Ages

San Gimignano Castle in Tuscany, Italy

 

Castles, Italian



This castle is located in Tuscany, Italy. The towers features within the castle are enormous - and they would have been even bigger if the law had permitted it.

Gimignano castle was originally built during the Dark Ages by the nobles who had constant struggles between each other. These were separated by families which explains the constant change of the castle's ownership.

The castle's walls are connected by bridges which are very big in most situations.

Even though the walls and towers were very strongly built, miners still managed to demolish some of these when the castle was besieged.

Today, this castle still stands.
