Tech billionaire Elon Musk is rumored to have bought a 13th-century Italian castle.
The Castello di Bibbiano, near Val d’Orcia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, in Tuscany, Italy, is rumored to have been bought by Musk in 2022.
The castle includes a moat around the main building, as well as a huge second residence with dozens of rooms, a well, outbuildings, stables and cypress trees.
The photos show the building surrounded by bricks and tiles, indicating that it is currently being renovated.
A tourist board, currently open to the public, explains the history behind the castle dating back to the 13th century.

The property is also close to the ‘Castiglion del Bosco’, named the best hotel in the world in 2022 by Travel + Leisure Magazine and where Elon Musk once stayed in 2021.
Musk “may have understood the beauty of the village during his stay in Castiglion del Bosco,” one article suggested.
Last week, Musk hinted that his confrontation with Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg would take place at the Colosseum in Rome.
The owner of the X – formerly known as Twitter – tweeted Friday morning that a location had been agreed after previously tweeting “Gladiator” alongside two sword emojis.
“The fight will be administered by my and Zuck’s (not UFC) foundations,” the Tesla mogul tweeted.
“Livestream will be on this platform and Meta. Everything in camera frame will be ancient Rome, so nothing modern at all.
“I have spoken with the Prime Minister of Italy and the Minister of Culture. They’ve agreed on an epic location.’
