The massive bulk of the castle dominates the town. It was built by Genoa in the 16th century. The castle is a noteworthy example of military architecture. The original structures were reinforced to defend it against the threats of Pisa and later from other enemies of the Republic. After the walking tour, a tasting of local specialties and chilled white wine will be served.
