Fiesole to Settignano, Part 5

After a bit more hiking we reached this location, Castel Vincigliata. It was an interesting looking place and the only thing on this section of the road so we took sometime to get closer.


The main entrance was guarded by these lions who had rather sad expressions. We went in and saw a few cars around and heard quite a few people in the interior of the castle.
These lions were on the inside. Whoever built this castle must have really liked the big cats.
We walked around a garden for a bit and managed to peak into an interior courtyard which I got a quick shot of.We think that there was a wedding inside. There were a lot of people in the windows of what appeared to be the dining room and a bunch of cars outside. We poked around as much as we could then head back on our way on the road to Settignano. This was certainly interesting stop along our way. Next stop, Settignano! We still had some more through the woods hiking to do before reaching the town, but this was the last really noted site along the way. I'll post up the final pictures soon...
