The Tower is a pretty house built of mellow stone
and set in front a tiny hilltop village between Lucca and Pistoia
(600 meters above sea level) part of a huge stone building dating
back to the 1200's - and which was a Ghibelline defense. The Ghibellines
who sided with the holy roman Emperor fought against the Guelphs
who supported the Pope over the right to rule the northern part
of Italy. In the Castle there are two apartments the Fairy and the
Elf. Its name derived from the utensils that the inhabitants made
lances.
In the upper part of the village you can admire the church, which lost its Romanesque features when it was rebuilt before 1638 and adopted the Baroque style. Nearby the original guard tower has been transformed into the present day bell tower, and you have to imagine another tower below the village which is only a ruin after it collapsed during WWI. |
