The fortification of Suvereto was commissioned by the Aldobrandeschi family, who already held public rights over Populonia, and who moved the administrative center of their holdings to the area. The original settlement consisted primarily of wooden huts and a few rough, unworked stone buildings. The first walled nucleus of the complex consists of a quadrangular tower, a structure more defensive than residential, most likely built around 1164. The walls are made of worked stone arranged in horizontal, parallel rows, with arrow slits at various heights along the walls. At the same time, the village also developed along the terraces of the hill, with a curvilinear shape of concentric rings.

The small, medieval hamlet of Querceto, dating back to 1082, is located on Monte Aneo at an altitude of 260 m above the Cecina River. Querceto means "oak forest" and can only be reached via a narrow, winding path. The ascent and descent are challenging and are a great destination for racing cyclists who love altitude.

Worth a visit at any time of year.

Querceto, a delightful hamlet in the municipality of Montecatini Val di Cecina (province of Pisa), boasts an ancient castle in the center of the village. Built in the 16th century, the current building has been owned by the François family, originally from Haute-Savoie, for over 120 years. The castle can still be visited today: wine tourism tours are often organized.

A fantastic place to unwind…

Very beautiful view of this unique Tuscan hilly landscape, which encloses the quiet valley from Querceto, La Sassa to Canetto.

Castello Ginori dates back to the Lombard period, more precisely in the 16th century. An original building in one of the late 15th century was destroyed by wars and looting. Surrounding houses were also destroyed.

This Lost Place was once a church and named after the neighboring place. This church was built between the 12th and 13th centuries and was the focal point of the surrounding houses (remains still exist). It was probably also used as a hospice for travelers. According to legend, Mathilde of Canossa had to build 100 churches so that he could say masses. This one is the 99th and final one.
