View of Giglio Castello, the fortified medieval village on Giglio Island in Tuscany, Italy. Perched over 400 meters above sea level, the small hilltop town is enclosed by impressive stone walls with towers, narrow alleys, arches and outside stairways leading up to clustered houses. The image conveys the atmosphere of an ancient Tuscan borgo, still dominated by the Rocca Aldobrandesca and the church of San Pietro Apostolo.
