Poppi Castle, also known as the castle of the Conti Guidi, was built in Medieval times in around 1191, on the orders of Count Simone Guidi and his son Guido. The Castle was the scene of the Battle of Campaldino. The oldest part was designed by Lapo di Cambio, while the most recent part, which dates back to the end of the 13th century, was designed by Arnolfo di Cambio. The Castle, which is today home to the town hall, houses some famous frescoes.
