The Nozzano Castle was built by the people of Lucca to defend their territory from threats from the Pisans. On the opposite bank of the Serchio River, a few hundred meters away as the crow flies, stands the corresponding Pisan fortification: the Rocca di Ripafratta with its watchtowers. Land of the enemy in times gone by.
