CORDOVADO. IL BORGO

SULLA SINISTRA PARTICOLARE DEL PALAZZO AGRICOLA


Sorto su un “castelliere” preistorico e a un successivo insediamento romano, il castello di Cordovado fu eretto intorno all’XI secolo per difendere il territorio dalle scorrerie degli Ungari.
Nel XVI secolo, dopo i crolli causati dal violento terremoto del 1511, fu costruito l’attuale palazzo sulle fondamenta dell’antico maniero - Villa Piccolomini Freschi - di cui divennero proprietari per successione i conti Freschi di Cuccanea e in seguito i conti Piccolomini di Siena. Della struttura originaria del castello rimangono le due torri scudate e parte delle mura molto ben conservate. All’interno di quest’ultime si trovano la chiesetta del XII secolo, il palazzo Agricola del XV secolo, l’imponente villa, il parco romantico degli inizi del XIX e le casette medievali.

ON THE LEFT DETAIL OF PALAZZO AGRICOLA

Built on a prehistoric “castelliere” and a subsequent Roman settlement, the castle of Cordovado was erected around the 11th century to defend the territory from the raids of the Hungarians.
In the 16th century, after the collapses caused by the violent earthquake of 1511, the current palace was built on the foundations of the ancient manor - Villa Piccolomini Freschi - of which the Counts Freschi of Cuccanea became owners by succession and later the Counts Piccolomini of Siena. Of the original structure of the castle remain the two shielded towers and part of the very well preserved walls. Inside the latter are the 12th century church, the 15th century Palazzo Agricola, the imposing villa, the romantic park from the early 19th century and the medieval houses.
