Rocca dei Conti Guidi, Modigliana

Rocca dei Conti Guidi, Modigliana
TSC - 22.12.2019 - Thema : Weihnachtliches
_____

Einst eine gewaltige Burg, deren Ursprünge nicht bekannt sind, aber wohl bis in das 10. Jahrhundert zurückreicht.
Die Burg war ca. 400 Jahre im Besitz des Adelgeschlechtes der Guidi, bevor sie dann in den Besitz der Florentiner Republik übergeht.
Die Rocca dei Conti Guidi liegt auf einem Berg südlich des Ortes Modigliana.
Die Rocca befindet sich heute in einem traurigen Zustand. Die wenigen noch stehenden, aber stark einsturzgefährdeten Mauerwerke sind nur notdürftig gesichert und das gesamte Burgareal ist stark überwuchert.
Unklar ist auch wo sich einst der Zugang befand, im Süden mittels einer Brücke über einen künstlich angelegten Festungsgraben oder im Norden über die ehemalige untere Vorburg.

Judging by your PiP, it must have looked magnificent sitting up high above the village, but it looks like the cliffs as well as the castle have been falling down for some time!

It does look good in your main image though, the light and details are fantastic and the colour of the stone is just beautiful. I like the silhouetted nativity scene too. Nicely captured aNNa.

A nicely placed Nativity scene, it's sad to see historic building neglected like, it wii never be restored but it could be stabilised. Here English Heritage are the main charity that look after such sites

Peter* Many sites are maintained and restored ... but in Italy there are so many castles and churches that are left to decay. And the money is simply missing too often.

No lo conocía. Es una obra sorprendente, en piedra. Bien por el añadido donde se ubica mejor en una colina la obra.

José* Sì, ci sono così tanti vecchi castelli e chiese in Italia, che purtroppo vengono lasciati decadere

Great find and beautifully taken shot =)

I was not sure what to call that painting or sculpture in the middle, but now learned from Peter Castell that it is a Nativity scene.

Yes, I know, but I didn't knew the expression in English for it.

In FInnish it is "seimiasetelma" or "seimikuvaeilma", and German it seems to be "Weihnachtskrippe".
