In contrast to its castle, of which only ruins remain, the village has kept intact its medieval structure, its narrow streets and its old stone houses. The republics of Florence and Siena chose it to sign peace treaties twice, in 1176 and 1260. It was from here that the Florentine troops left for the battle of Montaperti in 1260, where they suffered a bitter and bloody defeat (more than 10,000 dead...). Don't miss the Malaspina Palace, the Renaissance cistern and the church of Santa Maria della Neve with its 14th century frescoes. Market every Friday in Piazza del Pozzo Nuovo.
