Monasteries and Castles
Tour
Poppi
Itinerary
Poppi, the medieval castle of the Conti Guidi, built in the mid to late 1200s. The project is attributed to Lapo di Cambio, with posthumous ( 15th century) interventions by a local architect Jacopo Turriani. A careful restoration allows, today, to admire a jewel of civil and military architecture of the place, superb testimony to the wealth and splendor of the Guidi counts. Interesting inside is the elegant decoration of the family chapel, with a cycle of frescoes painted by Taddeo Gaddi, one of the most faithful followers of Giotto’s painting, (first half of the 14th century). Also worth visiting is the historic center with its central street, Via Cavour, lined with arcades, the Oratory of the Madonna del Morbo, an elegant example of Baroque architecture (17th century) the church of San Fedele (late 12th century).
