==Main sights== The main landmark of Radicofani is its ''Rocca'' (Castle), of Carolingian origin, documented since 978 as the Castle of Ghino di Tacco. Occupying the highest point of a hill, at {{convert|896|m|ft}}, it was restored after the conquest from the Grand Duchy of Tuscany (1560–67). It has two lines of walls: the external one has a pentagonal shape, while the inner one is triangular, with three ruined towers at each corner and a ''cassero'' (donjon) which can be visited.
Also notable is the Romanesque church of San Pietro, with a nave housing works by Andrea della Robbia, Benedetto Buglioni and Santi Buglioni. Also by della Robbia is the precious ''Madonna with Saints'' at the high altar of the church of ''Sant'Agata''. Just to the south of town is the Bosco Isabella. ==Municipal government== thumb|right|250px|The Town Hall.
