Castiglione della Pescaia

Castiglione della Pescaia lies on Tuscany’s Tyrrhenian coast beside the mouth of the Bruna River, where the Maremma’s lowlands meet beaches, pinewoods and the Diaccia Botrona wetland. The old town rises on a headland beneath the Castello Aragonese, whose defensive walls and narrow lanes recall Castiglione’s role as a coastal stronghold. Fishing remains part of the town’s identity, while its harbour and waterfront connect the historic centre with the sea. To the south, the Diaccia Botrona Nature Reserve safeguards former coastal-lake marshland, an important habitat for waterbirds.
