The Rocca or Castle of Carmignano has dominated the village from above for over a thousand years: the bastion was in fact mentioned for the first time in the year 998, in a document by Otto III of Saxony which granted ownership to the bishop of Pistoia. The Rocca was the object of continuous battles between Pistoia, Florence and Prato, due to its strategic position in the political-military context of the Middle Ages: from up here, in fact, you can admire the entire plain between the three cities. After having resisted, in 1154, a siege conducted by troops from Prato and Florence, the castle was destroyed for the first time in 1228 by the Florentines. Having regained possession of Pistoia in 1242, the fortification was rebuilt and in the early fourteenth century sold again to Florence, which proceeded to demolish the fortress and the castle walls once again. After a new parenthesis in Pistoia (1315-1324) the castle returned to Florentine hands, only to be besieged and conquered by Castruccio Castracani, who made it his own stronghold until 1328, when it finally returned to Florence. The Rocca di Carmignano can be accessed via a pedestrian path (starting from the church of San Michele, where Pontormo's famous Visitation is kept) that climbs the hill full of olive trees, where you can enjoy a beautiful view of Montalbano. Few remains of the medieval walls around the Rocca remain, partly rebuilt as the Campano, with the bell tower and clock, while in the center stands a medieval tower, called the Maschio della Rocca.

Unknown to most people, this small town, a hidden gem on the eastern side of the Montalbano hills, is the most typical, genuine and representative of an ancient Tuscan village. Its origins, very far back in time, date its construction back to the end of the 10th century as a castle or rather as a fortified village, appointed in the following centuries to guard the borders of the free municipality of Pistoia. This ancient walled village is located on the northern slopes of the Montalbano hills on the side that looks east, towards the city of Pistoia at an altitude of 264 meters above sea level.

La Rocca above The village of Carmignano is worth a visit and not just for the view. From this fortress there were two arms that the Pistoiesi had placed and that "made the figs" towards Florence. For more information, consult the Divine Comedy.

Built on previous Roman settlements, the Castle was a possession of the Guidi Counts attested from the mid-10th century, then sold by them to the Municipality of Pistoia in 1225. Contested several times between the Pistoiesi and the Florentines until 1401 when Pistoia definitively submitted to Florence and Larciano became headquarters of one of the podesterias in which the administration of the territory was divided.
