Facts and practical information

The castle of Monsummano Alto is the oldest nucleus of Monsummano, now centered on Monsummano Terme. The fortifications, atop a scenic rise 340 meters above sea level, dominate a large territory and are visible, thanks in part to night lighting, from all over the Valdinievole, and the panorama it offers reaches as far as the Padule di Fucecchio. The castle coincides with the village of Monsummano Alto.
