The Castle of Montecchio Vesponi is a walled, castle with turrets and battlements, which occupies the top of a hill (Montecchio), overlooking the Val di Chiana, named and drawn on a well-documented survey map by Leonardo da Vinci in 1503.

Many cultural events have taken place within its walls, including art exhibitions (the last being one of works of Manzù), concerts, folklore festivals, re- enactments and events in the local dialect. Famous visitors to the Castle have included the late Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother (of England) who came to learn Documentary Moviesmore about the castle and the area and owned in 1384 by another Englishman, Sir John Hawkwood (known in Italian as Giovanni Acuto). Hawkwood appears in the world famous fresco by Paolo Uccello in the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, The Duomo of Florence.
