History
The very fest mention of the castle dates back to 1252, though it is thought to be much older. Events of different nature have distinguished the story of this important building, whose proportions and impregnability have enabled it to hold out against the several raids during the centuries. In ancient times, the tower, which has a square basis, used to be lower and without any battlement. Present battlement was realised during the restoration in 1910. From the 16th century the castle grew rich in many works of art. Many portraits of Florentine nobles, pictures with hunting or battles scenes or Terracotta from the school of Della Robbia were brought here to adorn the splendid, great halls. The gothic chapel is fully decorated and in its centre there is a plaster cast picturing a Madonna with Child is also on display. The original work of art was here until the beginning of the 20th century, when it was given to the Bargello Museum in Florence
