Best tour I have probably ever had of a castle. The guide was great, she basicially new everything about the castle, honestly can't say enough positive words about our guide. Even without the guide, the view is amazing and worth the small hike. True Tuscany highlight.

Some info on the tours since I found the site lacking: 3 euros per person and it starts every full hour on Friday through Sunday starting from 16 in the afternoon until closing time. Worth every...

Poderosa e formidabile fortificazione che si erge sopra un rilievo roccioso a 530 metri di altitudine in una posizione tale da dominare un territorio vastissimo comprendente le province di Siena, Pisa e Grosseto. Ma oltre a Volterra e le Colline Metallifere, nelle giornate limpide si scorgono chiaramente il Monte Amiata, il Pratomagno, le Alpi Apuane, la vetta del Monte Capanne (Isola d’Elba) e l’Isola di Gorgona. La torre viene datata al 1067 sulla base di un documento menzionante "Sillano" come sito fortificato, mentre la parte interna del recinto è databile al 1200 circa. Il perimetro esterno bastionato, invece, eseguito a rinforzo delle preesistenti cortine murarie, è datato con certezza alla metà del 1400 quando Pomarance passò sotto la giurisdizione dei Fiorentini, nel periodo di passaggio "dalla balestra alla bombarda" con il conseguente sviluppo di sistemi di difesa adeguati. Dal 2001 la rocca è dotata di illuminazione e nel 2009 è stata riaperta al pubblico dopo lunghi lavori di restauro. Adesso è perfettamente fruibile ed interamente visitabile nei brevi periodi di apertura, che sostanzialmente si concentrano nei week-end del periodo primavera-estate, su prenotazione, con...

The Rocca Silliana Castle is a beautiful well preserved historical site. There is a short hike before reaching the top, but the trail is very well kept and it is a very enjoyable walk. The castle itself is beautiful and the sight you get from the top is one of the best you can get in the Toscana. If you are a photographer do not forget your tripod and telephoto! Moonrises are...

A nice little hike, 20min with a three year old and carrying a 11 month old baby. Beautiful views all around, especially on a clear day. Make sure to check the working hours before hand. We were the only English speaking in the whole group of Italians. The guide took us aside at the end and told us everything once again in english. Very kind. €3 for adults, children under 4, for free.

The opening times are only posted on the gate to the castle which is a tough 15 minute walk through forest up a steep hillside from the car park. In summer it is only open 4 days a week in the late afternoon, more restricted at other times of the year. Opening times for 2023 attached here.

La Rocca Sillana, visibile a grande distanza, domina maestosa sul vertice di un rilievo collinare a 530 metri sul livello del mare, in una posizione privilegiata da un punto di vista militare. La Rocca permette infatti di controllare strategicamente la val di Cecina e le valli collegate, un territorio che comprende le province di Pisa, Siena e Grosseto. La leggenda, anche in virtù del nome, vorrebbe far risalire l'origine del fortilizio alla guerra civile fra Mario e Silla. Secondo ipotesi più accreditate la rocca prenderebbe il nome da Selva o foresta, bosco. La guida al costo di 3 € è molto preparata e la trovate nei periodi estivi nel medio-tardo pomeriggio.
