In the course of the centuries Castelfranco di Sopra has not suffered great changes within its walls, although only a small section of its external walls has survived, therefore little has been lost of the artistic legacy and the fascinating countryside remains.

This is a place where the art is in harmony with the beauty of the hillsides, the color of the olive groves and the fantastic forms of the sandstone crags (Balze).

Situated only a short distance from Arezzo , Siena and Firenze,a world of art, history and tradition awaits the curious and unhurried traveller.
