Come and see the glorious sight of the old Sonnino Castle near Livorno in Tuscany. This 19th century castle was built on a cliff overlooking the sea and is nearby to the small village of Quercianella.
It is now privately owned and only opens to the public on special occasions. Castle Sonnino even has its own private marina!
Castello Sonnino is indeed a beautiful landmark and would make for a splendid photograph if you’re touring in the area.
