Early medieval castle still inhabited today, which is preserved in excellent condition and offers a vast panorama towards the south over the Valdinievole and all of Tuscany

Cozzile was probably founded at the end of the 12th century around fortification works with lookout and extreme defense functions. Even at the beginning of the 14th century they housed a castellan and a small garrison on behalf of the people of Lucca. Around the fortress a fortified town arose with a structure similar to that of Massa, organized in a "fishbone" pattern on both sides of the road that crossed it and which, exiting at the other end of the town, led towards the Apennines and towards Modena. The houses were grouped into two neighborhoods or "deeds" (Volata to the East, and Cessana to the West of the main road) with the square located to the north and the church to the south. In the city walls, of which important remains are still visible incorporated into the houses built above them, three doors opened: one to the east, corresponding to the entrance to the town of the medieval road from Massa (gate to Massa), one to the west , on the diametrically opposite side (Porta Vecchia)
