Memory of the Epic Battles of the Past Still intact from its construction in the 12th century, the Watchtower represents the memory of the epic battles between Siena and Florence. The back part of the castle, dating from the late Middle Ages, bears witness to the passage of time and historical eras.

The Renaissance and the Transformation into a Residential Villa During the Renaissance, Castello di Velona underwent a significant transformation, becoming a residential villa. The Main Loggia, dating from that era, still tells the stories of an era of splendor and refinement.
