Castello di Sammezzano is a rainbow castle atop a hill in Tuscany, that is sadly now abandoned. Built in 1605, the castle was once the home of kings and is decorated in astonishingly elaborate Moorish decorative style. Every inch is tiled and engraved with patterns and colours, not even fairytale could dream up something this beautiful!
