The football stadium in Montalcino (where I lived for 15 months in the early 70s) has a fourteenth century castle running alongside the full length of the pitch - the pitch is the grassy bit at the front of this photo.

My thoughts to. Went to Siena a couple of years ago on holiday and stumbled across it. Spooky.

Which stadium has a stunning view of Mt Fuji? Which stadium floats the pitch in and out as needed? Which stadium has travelators outdoors to whisk you up to the ground? A bit of a plug this, but why not? 
Find the answers to these questions and MORE in a book I made about Japanese football grounds. Bloody love my stadiums, I do.
Watching Football in Japan. Have a goosey. The Albion even get a cheeky mention.

This stadium in Pyongyang, North Korea, is- I believe- the largest football stadium in the world (currently in use), capacity 150,000. And is presumably also handy for mass adoration of the Dear/Great/Awesome Leader, as well as public executions. And it looks Coolio Iglesias.
Didn't Kim-Jong score three hat-tricks in his first three games there?

It would be nice to think they sold souvenir scarves: they'd make a mint.
I've been there! It's where my mum's side of the family hail from. Beautiful village.
