    The Castle of Castel Passerino is a fortification located on Monte Romagna that dates back to the medieval period, very strategic because it dominated both the Lucca and Pisa sides. It is located near the Rocca di Riprafatta and had a central tower enclosed in two circles of concentric walls. The fortification was demolished in 1313 by order of the Pisan leader Uguccione della Faggiola, and then rebuilt by Castruccio Castracani in 1337. In 1394 it was invaded and set on fire by the Pisans, only to be abandoned at the beginning of the 1400s. It is a pity that only a part of the Central tower and which today is in disastrous conditions but so much .... it always deserves your visit.
