Rocca di Castruccio

This castle arose as a result of the ongoing conflict between the cities of Lucca and Florence against the city of Pistoia. This castle was designed to be very strong and ready to withstand any siege. The castle was built in the twelfth century, and there are only some simple remains that testify to its long history. From the castle tower, visitors can get majestic views of the city and its surrounding villages and mountains.
