The Boccale castle is a manor that rises south of Livorno, along the coastal road to Quercianella, in the stretch of coast called "Boccale" or "Cala dei Pirati".

The original nucleus of the Boccale castle is represented by a watchtower (also known as Torre del Maroccone or Torre del Diavolo), built by the Medici in the sixteenth century, perhaps on the remains of a pre-existing structure built by the Republic of Pisa in medieval era.

At the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the tower was significantly transformed; it was incorporated into a neo-medieval style residence, complete with battlements and became the property of a private family.

The complex, today, consists of a rectangular plan body, covered by a sloping roof and surrounded by three small round towers. On the front closest to the sea stands the ancient Medici's tower, square in shape.

Beautiful road with cliffs overlooking the sea and beautiful views ... but very busy.
