Castiglion Fibocchi - The village of Castiglion Fibocchi lies along the Via dei Setteponti, 13 Km away from Arezzo.

The village, assigned in fee ever since the 12th century by the Earls Guidi to the Pazzi, takes perhaps its name by one of the latter family, Ottaviano, nicknamed "Bocco", thence the castle was called "of the sons of Bocco" and then, by contraction, Fibocchi.

The historical centre, situated in a banked position, appears still nowadays quiet and pleasantly secluded, connected by narrow alleys, deceptively with a dead-end, that on the contrary lead to otner alleys which they share suggestive names with: Via dello Spedale, Borgo Portafredda, Vicolo dei Palchi, Borgo S. Croce.

The Town-Hall is a characteristic palace with a clock tower.The remains of the old circle of walls are very interesting. The gate Porta Fredda is particularly well preserved and restored at successive stages during the 19th century and still keeps the hewn stone arc with a lowered curve.

In the surroundings of Castiglion Fibocchi it is worthwhile to point out: the seventeenth-century Villa Occhini with its Romantic-style garden, the farm houses of S. Pietro and Ca' Maggiore estates, the remains of the ancient parish of S. Quirico sopr' Arno (probably of early Christian origins and active until the 14th century) and the medieval castle of Gello Biscardo, plunged in the green of Pratomagno.
