The area hosts the ruins of an ancient castle, of Peralla, dating back to the XIII century. What remains of the castle today is only a circular tower and pieces of the walls, in the highest part of the village.

The castle ruin is not easy to find. If you come from Pieve di Camaiore, stay on the trail below the settlement until almost the end of the village. Then you will find a billboard. Do not hesitate to climb between the houses and through the open gardens, always uphill past the (Kirch?) Tower. If you come out at a pool, you have gone a few feet too far and should have just followed a right ascending path through the olive groves. If one follows this way, one sees after approx. 50m left a hut. If you approach them a few meters, you will find the tower ruin on your right hand side and from there you can explore the area.
