Il Castello si trova su di una collinetta di 231 metri di altezza alla confluenza fra il Torrente Sellate ed il Botro al Rio all\u2019interno dell\u2019attuale foresta di Berignone.
\nFu fondato nel medioevo da parte dei vescovi di Volterra che ne rimasero i proprietari per secoli. E’ conosciuto fin dal 990 quando si trovava al centro di un\u2019area intensamente popolata. Fu a lungo un centro importante per il controllo del territorio ed anche una residenza dei vescovi volterrani.<\/p>\n
Nel XIII secolo fu anche sede della zecca del vescovo di Volterra, che vi batteva moneta con l\u2019argento delle miniere vescovili di Montieri.
\nNel Trecento entr\u00f2 sotto il controllo del comune di Volterra. Oggi rimane in piedi solo parte della torre e pochi frammenti delle mura, intorno si notano le tracce del borgo, quasi scomparse all\u2019interno del bosco.<\/p>\n
Nel 1218 fu distrutto una prima volta dai soldati del comune di Volterra, ma venne subito ricostruito; nel 1235 vi fu assediato dalle truppe volterrane il vescovo Pagano Pannocchieschi ed uguale sorte tocc\u00f2 nel 1267 al vescovo Alberto degli Scolari.
\nIl castello \u00e8 costituito da un nucleo fortificato, il cassero, composto da una torre, che \u00e8 l\u2019unico edificio rimasto in parte in piedi, e da altre strutture in muratura; dalle aperture sopravvissute possiamo intuire che la torre doveva avere almeno tre piani oltre al pianterreno. Sotto al pianterreno vi \u00e8 una stanza interrata che doveva essere una cantina o un deposito. Una cinta muraria proteggeva questa zona del castello.<\/p>\n
Al di l\u00e0 di queste mura si estendeva il borgo, composto da numerosi edifici di cui si possono oggi leggere le tracce sul terreno; non conosciamo con precisione l\u2019estensione dell\u2019abitato a causa del bosco che ha occupato quest\u2019area. Non \u00e8 possibile nemmeno determinare se il borgo avesse una cinta muraria di difesa.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion closed_toggle_text_color=”#e14b28″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” admin_label=”Accordion SCARICA GUIDE” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ body_font=”Roboto||||||||” body_text_align=”center” toggle_font=”Roboto||||||||” border_color_all=”#e14b28″ locked=”off”][et_pb_accordion_item title=”DOWNLOAD THE BERIGNONE NATURE RESERVE GUIDE” open=”on” icon_color=”#e14b28″ _builder_version=”3.21.1″ title_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” text_orientation=”center”]\n

Il castello \u2013 posto nel piccolo borgo di Querceto \u2013 oggi sede di un\u2019azienda vinicola, \u00e8 un bell\u2019esempio del sistema militare presente in tutta la Valdicecina: zona di passaggio, sintesi tra la Toscana interna e quella marittima, la valle \u00e8 ancora oggi punteggiata da antiche rocche che, nel medioevo, servivano da difesa per questi luoghi strategici.
\nIl castello di Querceto \u00e8 documentato fin dal XI secolo, come appartenente alla diocesi di Massa Marittima che poi lo cedette al monastero di Monteverdi. Nel 1208 questi cedette il territorio di Querceto al comune di Volterra<\/a> e da allora i suoi abitanti furono cittadini volterrani.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion closed_toggle_text_color=”#e14b28″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” icon_color=”#e14b28″ admin_label=”Accordion – TESTO LEGGI DI PI\u00d9” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ body_font=”Roboto||||||||” body_text_align=”center” toggle_font=”Roboto||||||||” border_color_all=”#e14b28″][et_pb_accordion_item title=”LEGGI DI PI\u00d9” open=”on” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ title_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” text_orientation=”center”]\nLa prima attestazione di Querceto \u00e8 contenuta in un documento datato al 1082 nel quale si cita la localit\u00e0 come villa. Il centro assurse ben presto al rango di castello come lascia chiaramente intendere la menzione di Querceto in un documento databile al 1118.
Lasciando l\u2019automobile al parcheggio all\u2019ingresso del borgo, \u00e8 possibile incamminarsi lungo il piccolo viale che conduce alla piazzetta sulla quale si affaccia la Pieve di San Giovanni Battista<\/a>.
La storia di Querceto, infatti, \u00e8 strettamente legata a quella della famiglia Ginori-Lisci, dalla quale prende il nome anche il castello attorno al quale si sviluppa tutto l\u2019abitato.
Il castello attualmente visibile \u00e8 stato edificato agli inizi del Novecento, per opera del conte Lorenzo Ginori il quale nel 1907 decise di ricostruire una dimora per la propria famiglia laddove si supponeva sorgesse la residenza signorile medievale. La costruzione \u00e8 assai imponente ed \u00e8 costituita da pi\u00f9 corpi uniti tra loro.
Emergono tra tutti la torre centrale, che termina con un ballatoio sorretto da beccatelli e coronato da merli \u201cguelfi\u201d ovvero a muratura piena (quelli ghibellini sono invece a coda di rondine rovesciata), e la facciata del primo ambiente del castello, quello che si vede non appena ci si incammina per le strette vie del centro.
Durante i mesi primaverili ed estivi la facciata \u00e8 completamente coperta da una pianta di vite americana che la caratterizza, rendendola assolutamente inconfondibile.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][et_pb_button button_url=”\/download\/montecatini-e-il-suo-territorio-guida\/?wpdmdl=43860&masterkey=5bafac1ac1568″ url_new_window=”on”

The first mention of Querceto comes in a document dating to 1082 which classifies the locality as a villa. The centre though soon became a castle as mentioned in a document of 1118.
Leaving the car in the car park at the entrance to the medieval village, follow the little avenue that leads to the square where the parish church, St John the Baptist<\/a>, is to be found.
The history of Querceto is tied to that of the Ginori-Lisci family, after whom the castle, around which the village grew, is named.
The castle as it is today was built at the beginning of the 20th century, by Count Lorenzo who decided in 1907 to build a family home where it was assumed the medieval residence had been.
The building is palatial and includes several parts joined together. Topping the building is the central tower, garnished with a balcony on-brackets crowned with Guelph merlons (the Ghibelline are overturned swallow-tails), which comes to view on entering the medieval village.
In the spring and summer the walls are completely covered by an unmistakable Virginia creeper.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button

La Fortezza non era destinata soltanto a proteggere la citt\u00e0, ma soprattutto a tenerla sotto controllo e impedire ribellioni. Una parte di essa \u2013 il settore pi\u00f9 a Est \u2013 esisteva gi\u00e0 prima del 1474, e costituiva il castello pi\u00f9 antico, il Cassero<\/strong>.
\nQuesta struttura, che ampliava le difese della citt\u00e0, era destinata a proteggere la zona intorno alla Porta a Selci<\/strong> e fu completata nel 1292.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/volterratur.softhrod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Fortezza-Medicea-pianta.png\")
<\/p>\n
Intorno al 1343 Gualtieri di Brienne, Duca di Atene e signore di Firenze, prese il controllo del Cassero e costru\u00ec una nuova torre, dall\u2019altro lato dell\u2019antica Porta a Selci. La torre venne poi unita al Cassero andando a costituire una struttura unica protetta da mura di cinta e fossati.<\/p>\n
Nel 1430 si dette inizio alla costruzione dello sperone che ancora oggi si trova all\u2019estremit\u00e0 est della Fortezza e che da allora venne definito \u201cla scarpa\u201d, che fu terminato pochi anni dopo, nel 1432. Il termine deriva dalla sua forma, infatti le pareti presentano una pendenza accentuata nella parte inferiore destinata alla difesa contro i colpi dell\u2019artiglieria.
Tutto il settore est \u2013 quello pi\u00f9 antico \u2013 \u00e8 adesso chiamato \u201cRocca Vecchia<\/strong>\u201d o \u201cFemmina<\/strong>\u201c, mentre la parte nuova, interamente realizzata in pietra, \u00e8 composta da due parti: il \u201cMastio<\/strong>\u201d costruito all\u2019estremit\u00e0 ovest, che \u00e8 formato da una grande torre circolare isolata all\u2019interno e da una cortina muraria a pianta quadrata ai cui angoli sono collocate quattro alte torri circolari.<\/p>\nFra il Mastio e la Rocca Vecchia fu costruita anche una doppia cortina che univa le due rocche e che consentiva al tempo stesso di ricoverare una consistente guarnigione.
Le torri e le mura presentano la scarpa e un camminamento sostenuto da beccatelli sporgenti verso l\u2019esterno, che erano destinati alla difesa \u201cpiombante\u201d, cio\u00e8 destinata al lancio dall\u2019alto di pietre ed altro materiale contro gli attaccanti. Questo camminamento fu costruito anche nelle parti pi\u00f9 antiche e cos\u00ec l\u2019intero perimetro risulta oggi omogeneo.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”3.3.1″ custom_padding=”57px|0px|0px|0px|false|false”][et_pb_fullwidth_slider show_arrows=”off” show_pagination=”off” admin_label=”slider-pagina_interna – immagine con link” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ header_font=”Roboto|500|||||||” header_font_size_tablet=”39px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#ffffff” button_border_color=”#ffffff” button_font=”||||||||” button_icon_color=”#ffffff” custom_padding=”250px||250px|” button_bg_color_hover=”#e14b28″ saved_tabs=”all” button_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_size__hover=”null” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_size__hover=”null” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover=”null” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_color__hover=”null” button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_color__hover=”null” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover=”null” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_width__hover=”null” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover=”null” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover=”null” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_color__hover=”null” button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_color__hover=”null” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover=”null” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_radius__hover=”null” button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_radius__hover=”null” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover=”null” button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”on” button_bg_color__hover=”#e14b28″ button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_bg_color__hover=”null” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover=”null”][et_pb_slide heading=”Le cene galeotte<\/span>” button_text=”SCOPRI DI PI\u00d9” button_link=”\/?page_id=41456″ use_bg_overlay=”off” use_text_overlay=”off” admin_title=”Immagine linkata ” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ header_font=”||||||||” background_color=”#ffffff” background_image=”http:\/\/volterratur.softhrod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/header-cene-galeotte.jpg” button_on_hover=”on” button_alignment=”center” button_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off”]\nLa ricercatezza della cucina stellata, un progetto di reinserimento dopo il carcere, la bella cornice della rocca medicea: questi gli ingredienti delle cene, esperienza unica nel cuore della citt\u00e0.<\/h2>\n[\/et_pb_slide][\/et_pb_fullwidth_slider][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.12.2″ custom_padding=”14px|0px|39px|0px” global_module=”43547″ locked=”off”][et_pb_row custom_padding=”40px|0px|0px|0px” _builder_version=”3.0.106″ module_alignment=”center”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/volterratur.softhrod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/footer-logo-grey.jpg” align=”center” admin_label=”logo Footer” _builder_version=”3.0.106″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Menu Pagine Custom” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ text_font=”Roboto||||||||” text_text_color=”#666666″ text_font_size=”12px” text_orientation=”center”]\n

From its commanding hilltop position the enormous Medici Fortress looks out over Volterra and the surrounding countryside. This massive building is visible from miles away and characterizes the skyline of the hill upon which the city lies.
The Fortress was built in 1474, exactly two years after Florence conquered the city of Volterra<\/a> following a fierce battle over the control of nearby alum mines, an important mineral used in the production of textiles.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The Fortress was intended not only to protect the city, but primarily to keep the city under tight control and to prevent revolts against the new masters of the city. A part of the fortress \u2013 the easternmost part \u2013 was already standing before 1474 and was an ancient castle called the Cassero<\/strong>.<\/p>\nThe construction of this section was completed in 1292 and was designed to augment the pre-existing defensive structures of the city and protect the area around Porta a Selci<\/strong>.<\/p>\nAround the year 1343, Gualtieri di Brienne, Duke of Athens and lord of Florence, took control of the Cassero and built a new tower on the other side of the ancient Porta a Selci. The tower was then joined to the Cassero thus creating a single structure protected by an outer ring of walls and ditches.<\/p>\n
In 1430 began the construction of the prow-shaped outer wall which still stands at the easternmost end of the fortress; this defensive innovation, which was completed in 1432, has ever since been called \u201cthe shoe\u201d.<\/p>\n
This name derives from the shape of the structure, as the walls are strongly slanted at the base to better protect against artillery attacks. All of the eastern section \u2013 the oldest part \u2013 is now called the Rocca Vecchia (\u201cold castle\u201d) or Femmina (\u201cfemale\u201d)<\/strong>, while the new part, built entirely in stone, consists of two parts: the Mastio<\/strong> on the western end, which is a large, isolated circular tower inside the walls, and a rectangle of curtain-walls with four, high circular towers at each corner.<\/p>\nA double curtain-wall was also built between the Mastio and the Rocca Vecchia to join the two fortifications and also created the necessary space to house a sizable garrison.
The exterior of the towers and walls consist of a wide base and a walkway supported by protruding corbels which served a defensive function, or rather were used to launch stones and other materials onto approaching enemies. This walkway was also built onto the older sections and thus the entire perimeter today appears homogeneous.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”3.3.1″ custom_padding=”57px|0px|0px|0px|false|false”][et_pb_fullwidth_slider show_arrows=”off” show_pagination=”off” admin_label=”slider-pagina_interna – immagine con link” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ header_font=”Roboto|500|||||||” header_font_size_tablet=”39px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#ffffff” button_border_color=”#ffffff” button_font=”||||||||” button_icon_color=”#ffffff” custom_padding=”250px||250px|” button_bg_color_hover=”#e14b28″ saved_tabs=”all” button_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_size__hover=”null” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_size__hover=”null” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover=”null” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_color__hover=”null” button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_color__hover=”null” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover=”null” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_width__hover=”null” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover=”null” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover=”null” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_color__hover=”null” button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_color__hover=”null” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover=”null” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_radius__hover=”null” button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_radius__hover=”null” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover=”null” button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”on” button_bg_color__hover=”#e14b28″ button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_bg_color__hover=”null” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover=”null”][et_pb_slide heading=”The convict dinners<\/span>” button_text=”SCOPRI DI PI\u00d9” button_link=”\/?page_id=56772″ use_bg_overlay=”off” use_text_overlay=”off” admin_title=”Immagine linkata ” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ header_font=”||||||||” background_color=”#ffffff” background_image=”http:\/\/volterratur.softhrod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/header-cene-galeotte.jpg” button_on_hover=”on” button_alignment=”center” button_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off”]\nLa ricercatezza della cucina stellata, un progetto di reinserimento dopo il carcere, la bella cornice della rocca medicea: questi gli ingredienti delle cene, esperienza unica nel cuore della citt\u00e0.<\/h2>\n[\/et_pb_slide][\/et_pb_fullwidth_slider][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ custom_padding=”14px|0px|39px|0px” global_module=”47922″][et_pb_row custom_padding=”40px|0px|0px|0px” _builder_version=”3.0.106″ module_alignment=”center”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/volterratur.softhrod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/footer-logo-grey.jpg” align=”center” admin_label=”logo Footer” _builder_version=”3.0.106″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Menu Pagine Custom” _builder_version=”3.20.2″ text_font=”Roboto||||||||” text_text_color=”#666666″ text_font_size=”12px” text_orientation=”center”]\n

Situato a 3 km ad Est di Volterra, il Monte Voltraio emerge e si differenzia dal paesaggio argilloso circostante col suo inconfondibile profilo pressoch\u00e9 piramidale dovuto alla sua costituzione geologica in sabbie e calcari arenacei che danno luogo, sul lato pi\u00f9 orientale del rilievo, ad una vera e propria scarpata rocciosa verticale. Proprio in virt\u00f9 di tali caratteristiche naturali (che ne garantivano dunque una facile difendibilit\u00e0 da ogni versante, rendendo la spianata sommitale praticamente inespugnabile), questo piccolo rilievo (458 m.) divenne sede di un insediamento fortificato a controllo delle vie di transito provenienti dal territorio senese e dalla Val d\u2019Era.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion closed_toggle_text_color=”#e14b28″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” icon_color=”#e14b28″ admin_label=”Accordion – TESTO LEGGI DI PI\u00d9” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ body_font=”Roboto||||||||” body_text_align=”center” toggle_font=”Roboto||||||||” border_color_all=”#e14b28″][et_pb_accordion_item title=”LEGGI DI PI\u00d9” open=”on” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ title_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” text_orientation=”center”]\n
Le prime notizie su questa fortificazione risalgono al 967 attestandone la propriet\u00e0 al vescovo di Volterra, che vi esercit\u00f2 la propria signoria fino alla prima met\u00e0 del XIII secolo quando il castello divenne oggetto di vertenze e di contese col comune di Volterra che lo assal\u00ec nel 1218 e che, dopo alterne e prolungate vicende belliche, fin\u00ec per ridurlo sotto il proprio dominio (1252). Conquistata dai fiorentini nel XIV secolo, la rocca fu quindi restituita ai volterrani, che ne reclamavano la propriet\u00e0, a condizione che fosse smantellata; assalita nuovamente dai volterrani nel 1427 fu infine danneggiata irrimediabilmente nel 1433 dalle masnade al seguito di Niccol\u00f2 Piccinino.<\/p>\n
Oggi rimangono solo pochi resti visibili, parti di torri, della cinta muraria, della pieve e delle abitazioni. Gli edifici pi\u00f9 importanti si trovavano sulla sommit\u00e0 della collina, mentre la pieve ed il borgo, a loro volta circondati da una cinta muraria, erano sulle pendici.<\/p>\n
Nella prima met\u00e0 del Duecento, quando il territorio del comune di Volterra contava circa 7.000 abitanti, la rocca e il borgo di Monte Voltraio ospitavano circa 1.000 persone: una prova ulteriore del ruolo rilevante svolto da questo insediamento nell\u2019organizzazione e nel controllo di una zona strategica del territorio volteranno durante il Medioevo.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.3.1″ custom_padding=”0|0px|3px|0px|false|false” locked=”off”][et_pb_row custom_padding=”57px|0px|27px|0px|false|false” _builder_version=”3.0.47″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Titolo sezione – suggerimenti e approfondimenti” _builder_version=”3.20.2″]\n

Fra i tanti monumenti e centri abitati che occupano le sommit\u00e0 delle colline della Valdicecina il castello di Rocca Sillana \u00e8 uno dei pi\u00f9 significativi ed era uno dei maggiori insediamenti della zona, aperto al pubblico da pochi anni.<\/p>\n
Sorge isolato su un\u2019altura impervia e circondata da una fitta boscaglia, ma in realt\u00e0 \u00e8 un sito ricco di storia, che fu densamente abitato durante il medioevo e che controllava un territorio molto vasto.<\/p>\n
Secondo la tradizione, il nome di questo castello deriva da quello del generale romano Silla che assedi\u00f2 Volterra nell\u201880 a. C. In realt\u00e0 il nome di Rocca Sillana \u00e8 piuttosto recente, essendo nota fino alla met\u00e0 del Settecento con il nome di castello o rocca di Sillano, termine che \u00e8 testimoniato per la prima volta in un documento del 945.<\/p>\n
Invece \u00e8 molto probabile che il termine sillano sia semplicemente una trasformazione di Silvanus “boscoso” e del resto nel medioevo questa era una zona molto ricca di boschi.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion closed_toggle_text_color=”#e14b28″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” icon_color=”#e14b28″ admin_label=”Accordion – TESTO APPROFONDIMENTO” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ body_font=”Roboto||||||||” toggle_font=”Roboto||||||||” border_color_all=”#e14b28″ locked=”off”][et_pb_accordion_item title=”LEGGI DI PI\u00d9” open=”on” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ title_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” text_orientation=”center”]\n
LA STORIA<\/strong><\/p>\nIl borgo di Sillano risale all\u2019epoca etrusca, come testimoniano vari ritrovamenti archeologici. La prima notizia dell\u2019insediamento di \u201cSillano\u201d<\/strong> compare in un documento del X secolo del vescovo di Volterra mentre la prima menzione dell\u2019insediamento fortificato si trova in un documento del 1067 relativo a una vendita di terreni. Probabilmente a questo periodo risale la torre di avvistamento, oggi inglobata nella rocca.
Nei secoli successivi la Rocca di \u201cSillano\u201d<\/strong> subisce molteplici passaggi di propriet\u00e0.
Nel 1221 entra a far parte della giurisdizione di Volterra<\/strong>; nel XIV secolo diviene feudo della famiglia Petroni di Siena. Il 26 aprile 1386 la Rocca \u00e8 occupata da Martino Magli da Casole d\u2019Elsa e successivamente viene acquistata dalla Signoria di Firenze. L\u201911 novembre 1406 i Fiorentini, con la resa di Pisa, cedono il castello ad Andrea di messer Gherardo Gambacorti di Pisa, in ricompensa di servizi resi.
Da allora la fortezza rester\u00e0 sempre sotto la giurisdizione di Firenze<\/strong>. A partire dal XVI secolo inizia la fase di decadenza. Una lettera del 1527 del Capitano di Volterra ai Fiorentini, rivela che la Rocca \u00e8 ormai sfuggita a ogni controllo diventando rifugio per banditi e delinquenti.
Nella seconda met\u00e0 del Settecento<\/strong> il borgo di Sillano passa alla Comunit\u00e0 di Montecastelli che successivamente, nel 1788, viene unificata con quella di Castelnuovo. Con una delibera del 9 luglio 1873 il Borgo di Sillano passa, attraverso un atto di permuta, dal comune di Castelnuovo a quello di Pomarance. Nel 1850 la rocca era abitata dalla famiglia Acciai che \u00e8 costretta ad abbandonarla a causa delle continue \u2018ruberie\u2019. Alla fine degli anni \u201880 del 1900 la Rocca fu donata al Comune di Pomarance, dalla Famiglia Paladini.<\/p>\nLA ROCCA<\/strong><\/p>\nDalla Rocca la vista spazia a 360\u00b0 a coprire buona parte del territorio toscano.
L\u2019aspetto attuale \u00e8 il risultato di molteplici interventi avvenuti nel corso dei secoli, per adeguare l\u2019iniziale fortilizio (XI-XII secolo), all\u2019evoluzione della tecnica militare, culminata nel XV secolo con l\u2019introduzione delle armi da fuoco. A quel periodo risale la realizzazione dell\u2019imponente cortina muraria, a pianta poligonale, dotata di torrette angolari.
Intorno alla Rocca si sviluppa il borgo fortificato<\/strong>, le cui mura conservano resti dei due ingressi principali: Porta Volterrana e Porta San Rocco<\/strong>, con numerosi resti di abitazioni nei pressi di Porta San Rocco.
L\u2019interno della Rocca appare articolato in una possente torre di avvistamento (guardingo)<\/strong> e tre grandi corpi di fabbrica addossati alle mura che si affacciano su un cortile interno.
A sinistra dell\u2019ingresso inglobata nel fabbricato a Nord (A) si erge la torre a pianta quadrata, l\u2019edificio pi\u00f9 antico dell\u2019originario impianto medievale (XI-XII secolo). L\u2019accesso alla torre avveniva attraverso una porta collocata sul lato Sud ma non rimangono tracce della scala. All\u2019interno mensoloni angolari in pietra, supportavano i piani pavimentali in legno. Lo scavo all\u2019interno della Torre, condotto negli anni \u201980 dalla Soprintendenza Archeologica, ha riportato alla luce materiale ceramico, punte di freccia, frammenti di vetro e una spada, esposti in una sala della Mostra Permanente Guerrieri e Artigiani a Pomarance.
Una scalinata in pietra conduce nel fabbricato A<\/strong>, probabilmente riservato al capo della guarnigione, e dotato delle comodit\u00e0 indispensabili alla vita quotidiana. Ai lati dell\u2019ingresso sono conservati gli alloggiamenti per le sbarre che la bloccavano dall\u2019interno.
Nel fabbricato B<\/strong>, sono visibili alcune \u2018feritoie per arciere\u2019 e un \u2018necessario\u2019 riutilizzato come \u2018armadio\u2019. L\u2019edificio \u00e8 suddiviso in tre ambienti, collocati a diversi livelli che presentano ancora resti delle pavimentazioni originarie in cotto.
Il fabbricato C<\/strong> \u00e8 solo parzialmente conservato per il crollo di gran parte della volta. Il grande ambiente, con volte a botte, era suddiviso in tre unit\u00e0. Al suo interno, sono visibili i resti di un grande forno per alimenti, un\u2019arciera, una nicchia con un condotto di scarico verso l\u2019esterno e quanto rimane di un grande caminetto. Negli edifici B e C l\u2019accesso ai piani superiori avveniva attraverso una scalinata a pi\u00f9 rampe realizzata in parte in muratura e in parte in materiale deperibile. I piani superiori non si sono conservati.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/volterratur.softhrod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Rocca-Sillana-pianta.jpg\")

Among the many monuments and settlements that dominate the undulating hills of the Cecina Valley, the Rocca Sillana castle is one of the most significant.<\/p>\n
The hamlet of Sillano dates back to Etruscan times, as witnessed by various archaeological finds. The settlement of Sillano was first mentioned in a document from the 10th century written by the bishop of Volterra, and the fortified settlement in 1067 in a document recording the sale of lands. Probably the guard tower \u2013 now inserted into the structure of the fortress \u2013 dates back to this period. <\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion closed_toggle_text_color=”#e14b28″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” icon_color=”#e14b28″ admin_label=”Accordion – TESTO APPROFONDIMENTO” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ body_font=”Roboto||||||||” toggle_font=”Roboto||||||||” border_color_all=”#e14b28″ locked=”off”][et_pb_accordion_item title=”READ MORE” open=”on” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ title_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” text_orientation=”center”]\n
THE HISTORY<\/strong><\/p>\nOver the centuries, the Sillano stronghold underwent several changes of ownership.
In 1221, it was included in the jurisdiction of Volterra, and in the 14th century it became part of the feud of the Petroni family.
On 26th April 1386, the stronghold was occupied by Martino Magli from Casole d\u2019Elsa, and afterwards it was purchased by the Signoria of Florence.
On 11th November 1406 with the surrender of Pisa, the Florentines gave the stronghold to Andrea Messer Gherardo Gambacorti from Pisa, as a reward for the services he rendered. Since then, the fortress has been under the jurisdiction of Florence.
In the 16th century the period of decline began. A letter of 1527 by the Capitano of Volterra to the Florentines reveals that the fortress at the time was uncontrollable, having become a refuge for bandits and criminals.
In the second half of the 18th century, the village of Sillano passed to the Municipality of Montecastelli that subsequently, in 1788, was unified to that of Castelnuovo<\/strong><\/a>. With a resolution of 9th July 1873, the village of Sillano passed in exchange from the town of Castelnuovo to Pomarance<\/strong><\/a>. In 1850, the stronghold was inhabited by the Acciai family who were forced to abandon it due to continuous \u2018thefts\u2019. In the late 1980s, the fortress was donated to Pomarance by the Paladini family.<\/p>\nTHE ROCCA<\/strong><\/p>\nA 360\u00b0 view from the fortress overlooks most of Tuscany. The current appearance is the result of multiple renovations made over the centuries, to adapt the original stronghold (11th and 12th centuries) to the evolution of military technology, culminating with the introduction of firearms in the 15th century. In that period the imposing polygonal perimeter walls, with corner turrets, were built. Around the fortress, there is a fortified village, whose walls still show the remains of the two main entrances: Porta Volterrana and Porta San Rocco, with numerous remains of houses near Porta San Rocco. Inside the fortress is a mighty guard tower and three large buildings leaning on the walls that overlook a courtyard.
To the left of the entrance, the square tower assimilated into the building<\/strong> to the north (A<\/strong>) stands, this is the oldest building coming from the original medieval stronghold (11th-12th century). Access to the tower was through a door located on the south side but there is no longer trace of the flight of steps. Inside angular stone corbels supported the wooden floors. The excavation carried out by the Archaeological Superintendence inside the Tower in the 1980s has unearthed pottery, arrowheads, fragments of glass and a sword, now displayed in a hall of the

Il Castello si trova su di una collinetta di 231 metri di altezza alla confluenza fra il Torrente Sellate ed il Botro al Rio all\u2019interno dell\u2019attuale foresta di Berignone.
\nFu fondato nel medioevo da parte dei vescovi di Volterra che ne rimasero i proprietari per secoli. E’ conosciuto fin dal 990 quando si trovava al centro di un\u2019area intensamente popolata. Fu a lungo un centro importante per il controllo del territorio ed anche una residenza dei vescovi volterrani.<\/p>\n
Nel XIII secolo fu anche sede della zecca del vescovo di Volterra, che vi batteva moneta con l\u2019argento delle miniere vescovili di Montieri.
\nNel Trecento entr\u00f2 sotto il controllo del comune di Volterra. Oggi rimane in piedi solo parte della torre e pochi frammenti delle mura, intorno si notano le tracce del borgo, quasi scomparse all\u2019interno del bosco.<\/p>\n
Nel 1218 fu distrutto una prima volta dai soldati del comune di Volterra, ma venne subito ricostruito; nel 1235 vi fu assediato dalle truppe volterrane il vescovo Pagano Pannocchieschi ed uguale sorte tocc\u00f2 nel 1267 al vescovo Alberto degli Scolari.
\nIl castello \u00e8 costituito da un nucleo fortificato, il cassero, composto da una torre, che \u00e8 l\u2019unico edificio rimasto in parte in piedi, e da altre strutture in muratura; dalle aperture sopravvissute possiamo intuire che la torre doveva avere almeno tre piani oltre al pianterreno. Sotto al pianterreno vi \u00e8 una stanza interrata che doveva essere una cantina o un deposito. Una cinta muraria proteggeva questa zona del castello.<\/p>\n
Al di l\u00e0 di queste mura si estendeva il borgo, composto da numerosi edifici di cui si possono oggi leggere le tracce sul terreno; non conosciamo con precisione l\u2019estensione dell\u2019abitato a causa del bosco che ha occupato quest\u2019area. Non \u00e8 possibile nemmeno determinare se il borgo avesse una cinta muraria di difesa.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion closed_toggle_text_color=”#e14b28″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” admin_label=”Accordion SCARICA GUIDE” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ body_font=”Roboto||||||||” body_text_align=”center” toggle_font=”Roboto||||||||” border_color_all=”#e14b28″ locked=”off”][et_pb_accordion_item title=”DOWNLOAD THE BERIGNONE NATURE RESERVE GUIDE” open=”on” icon_color=”#e14b28″ _builder_version=”3.21.1″ title_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” text_orientation=”center”]\n

Il castello \u00e8 il pi\u00f9 antico fra quelli documentati in Valdicecina ed \u00e8 costituito da una torre circondata da una cinta muraria in pietra.
\nIl primo documento che ne parla \u00e8 del 954 e menziona il luogo come semplice torre. La torre, il cui aspetto \u00e8 oggi duecentesco, esiste ancora ed \u00e8 circondata da una cinta muraria.<\/p>\n
Vi vennero compiuti vari interventi di restauro nei secoli successivi, modificandone l\u2019aspetto, ma sia la torre che la cinta sono ancora in buono stato di conservazione.<\/p>\n

Il castello \u00e8 il pi\u00f9 antico fra quelli documentati in Valdicecina ed \u00e8 costituito da una torre circondata da una cinta muraria in pietra.
\nIl primo documento che ne parla \u00e8 del 954 e menziona il luogo come semplice torre. La torre, il cui aspetto \u00e8 oggi duecentesco, esiste ancora ed \u00e8 circondata da una cinta muraria.<\/p>\n
Vi vennero compiuti vari interventi di restauro nei secoli successivi, modificandone l\u2019aspetto, ma sia la torre che la cinta sono ancora in buono stato di conservazione.<\/p>\n

Il castello \u2013 posto nel piccolo borgo di Querceto \u2013 oggi sede di un\u2019azienda vinicola, \u00e8 un bell\u2019esempio del sistema militare presente in tutta la Valdicecina: zona di passaggio, sintesi tra la Toscana interna e quella marittima, la valle \u00e8 ancora oggi punteggiata da antiche rocche che, nel medioevo, servivano da difesa per questi luoghi strategici.
\nIl castello di Querceto \u00e8 documentato fin dal XI secolo, come appartenente alla diocesi di Massa Marittima che poi lo cedette al monastero di Monteverdi. Nel 1208 questi cedette il territorio di Querceto al comune di Volterra<\/a> e da allora i suoi abitanti furono cittadini volterrani.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion closed_toggle_text_color=”#e14b28″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” icon_color=”#e14b28″ admin_label=”Accordion – TESTO LEGGI DI PI\u00d9” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ body_font=”Roboto||||||||” body_text_align=”center” toggle_font=”Roboto||||||||” border_color_all=”#e14b28″][et_pb_accordion_item title=”LEGGI DI PI\u00d9” open=”on” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ title_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” text_orientation=”center”]\nLa prima attestazione di Querceto \u00e8 contenuta in un documento datato al 1082 nel quale si cita la localit\u00e0 come villa. Il centro assurse ben presto al rango di castello come lascia chiaramente intendere la menzione di Querceto in un documento databile al 1118.
Lasciando l\u2019automobile al parcheggio all\u2019ingresso del borgo, \u00e8 possibile incamminarsi lungo il piccolo viale che conduce alla piazzetta sulla quale si affaccia la Pieve di San Giovanni Battista<\/a>.
La storia di Querceto, infatti, \u00e8 strettamente legata a quella della famiglia Ginori-Lisci, dalla quale prende il nome anche il castello attorno al quale si sviluppa tutto l\u2019abitato.
Il castello attualmente visibile \u00e8 stato edificato agli inizi del Novecento, per opera del conte Lorenzo Ginori il quale nel 1907 decise di ricostruire una dimora per la propria famiglia laddove si supponeva sorgesse la residenza signorile medievale. La costruzione \u00e8 assai imponente ed \u00e8 costituita da pi\u00f9 corpi uniti tra loro.
Emergono tra tutti la torre centrale, che termina con un ballatoio sorretto da beccatelli e coronato da merli \u201cguelfi\u201d ovvero a muratura piena (quelli ghibellini sono invece a coda di rondine rovesciata), e la facciata del primo ambiente del castello, quello che si vede non appena ci si incammina per le strette vie del centro.
Durante i mesi primaverili ed estivi la facciata \u00e8 completamente coperta da una pianta di vite americana che la caratterizza, rendendola assolutamente inconfondibile.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][et_pb_button button_url=”\/download\/montecatini-e-il-suo-territorio-guida\/?wpdmdl=43860&masterkey=5bafac1ac1568″ url_new_window=”on”

The first mention of Querceto comes in a document dating to 1082 which classifies the locality as a villa. The centre though soon became a castle as mentioned in a document of 1118.
Leaving the car in the car park at the entrance to the medieval village, follow the little avenue that leads to the square where the parish church, St John the Baptist<\/a>, is to be found.
The history of Querceto is tied to that of the Ginori-Lisci family, after whom the castle, around which the village grew, is named.
The castle as it is today was built at the beginning of the 20th century, by Count Lorenzo who decided in 1907 to build a family home where it was assumed the medieval residence had been.
The building is palatial and includes several parts joined together. Topping the building is the central tower, garnished with a balcony on-brackets crowned with Guelph merlons (the Ghibelline are overturned swallow-tails), which comes to view on entering the medieval village.
In the spring and summer the walls are completely covered by an unmistakable Virginia creeper.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button

La Fortezza fu costruita nel 1474 \u2013 sulle vestigia di fortificazioni pi\u00f9 antiche – esattamente due anni dopo che la citt\u00e0 di Firenze aveva conquistato la citt\u00e0 dopo un\u2019aspra guerra per il controllo delle miniere di allume, un importante minerale usato nella lavorazione dei tessuti.

La Fortezza non era destinata soltanto a proteggere la citt\u00e0, ma soprattutto a tenerla sotto controllo e impedire ribellioni. Una parte di essa \u2013 il settore pi\u00f9 a Est \u2013 esisteva gi\u00e0 prima del 1474, e costituiva il castello pi\u00f9 antico, il Cassero<\/strong>.
\nQuesta struttura, che ampliava le difese della citt\u00e0, era destinata a proteggere la zona intorno alla Porta a Selci<\/strong> e fu completata nel 1292.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Intorno al 1343 Gualtieri di Brienne, Duca di Atene e signore di Firenze, prese il controllo del Cassero e costru\u00ec una nuova torre, dall\u2019altro lato dell\u2019antica Porta a Selci. La torre venne poi unita al Cassero andando a costituire una struttura unica protetta da mura di cinta e fossati.<\/p>\n
Nel 1430 si dette inizio alla costruzione dello sperone che ancora oggi si trova all\u2019estremit\u00e0 est della Fortezza e che da allora venne definito \u201cla scarpa\u201d, che fu terminato pochi anni dopo, nel 1432. Il termine deriva dalla sua forma, infatti le pareti presentano una pendenza accentuata nella parte inferiore destinata alla difesa contro i colpi dell\u2019artiglieria.
Tutto il settore est \u2013 quello pi\u00f9 antico \u2013 \u00e8 adesso chiamato \u201cRocca Vecchia<\/strong>\u201d o \u201cFemmina<\/strong>\u201c, mentre la parte nuova, interamente realizzata in pietra, \u00e8 composta da due parti: il \u201cMastio<\/strong>\u201d costruito all\u2019estremit\u00e0 ovest, che \u00e8 formato da una grande torre circolare isolata all\u2019interno e da una cortina muraria a pianta quadrata ai cui angoli sono collocate quattro alte torri circolari.<\/p>\nFra il Mastio e la Rocca Vecchia fu costruita anche una doppia cortina che univa le due rocche e che consentiva al tempo stesso di ricoverare una consistente guarnigione.
Le torri e le mura presentano la scarpa e un camminamento sostenuto da beccatelli sporgenti verso l\u2019esterno, che erano destinati alla difesa \u201cpiombante\u201d, cio\u00e8 destinata al lancio dall\u2019alto di pietre ed altro materiale contro gli attaccanti. Questo camminamento fu costruito anche nelle parti pi\u00f9 antiche e cos\u00ec l\u2019intero perimetro risulta oggi omogeneo.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”3.3.1″ custom_padding=”57px|0px|0px|0px|false|false”][et_pb_fullwidth_slider show_arrows=”off” show_pagination=”off” admin_label=”slider-pagina_interna – immagine con link” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ header_font=”Roboto|500|||||||” header_font_size_tablet=”39px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#ffffff” button_border_color=”#ffffff” button_font=”||||||||” button_icon_color=”#ffffff” custom_padding=”250px||250px|” button_bg_color_hover=”#e14b28″ saved_tabs=”all” button_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_size__hover=”null” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_size__hover=”null” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover=”null” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_color__hover=”null” button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_color__hover=”null” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover=”null” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_width__hover=”null” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover=”null” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover=”null” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_color__hover=”null” button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_color__hover=”null” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover=”null” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_radius__hover=”null” button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_radius__hover=”null” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover=”null” button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”on” button_bg_color__hover=”#e14b28″ button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_bg_color__hover=”null” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover=”null”][et_pb_slide heading=”Le cene galeotte<\/span>” button_text=”SCOPRI DI PI\u00d9” button_link=”\/?page_id=41456″ use_bg_overlay=”off” use_text_overlay=”off” admin_title=”Immagine linkata ” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ header_font=”||||||||” background_color=”#ffffff” background_image=”http:\/\/volterratur.softhrod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/header-cene-galeotte.jpg” button_on_hover=”on” button_alignment=”center” button_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off”]\nLa ricercatezza della cucina stellata, un progetto di reinserimento dopo il carcere, la bella cornice della rocca medicea: questi gli ingredienti delle cene, esperienza unica nel cuore della citt\u00e0.<\/h2>\n[\/et_pb_slide][\/et_pb_fullwidth_slider][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.12.2″ custom_padding=”14px|0px|39px|0px” global_module=”43547″ locked=”off”][et_pb_row custom_padding=”40px|0px|0px|0px” _builder_version=”3.0.106″ module_alignment=”center”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/volterratur.softhrod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/footer-logo-grey.jpg” align=”center” admin_label=”logo Footer” _builder_version=”3.0.106″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Menu Pagine Custom” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ text_font=”Roboto||||||||” text_text_color=”#666666″ text_font_size=”12px” text_orientation=”center”]\n

From its commanding hilltop position the enormous Medici Fortress looks out over Volterra and the surrounding countryside. This massive building is visible from miles away and characterizes the skyline of the hill upon which the city lies.
The Fortress was built in 1474, exactly two years after Florence conquered the city of Volterra<\/a> following a fierce battle over the control of nearby alum mines, an important mineral used in the production of textiles.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The Fortress was intended not only to protect the city, but primarily to keep the city under tight control and to prevent revolts against the new masters of the city. A part of the fortress \u2013 the easternmost part \u2013 was already standing before 1474 and was an ancient castle called the Cassero<\/strong>.<\/p>\nThe construction of this section was completed in 1292 and was designed to augment the pre-existing defensive structures of the city and protect the area around Porta a Selci<\/strong>.<\/p>\nAround the year 1343, Gualtieri di Brienne, Duke of Athens and lord of Florence, took control of the Cassero and built a new tower on the other side of the ancient Porta a Selci. The tower was then joined to the Cassero thus creating a single structure protected by an outer ring of walls and ditches.<\/p>\n
In 1430 began the construction of the prow-shaped outer wall which still stands at the easternmost end of the fortress; this defensive innovation, which was completed in 1432, has ever since been called \u201cthe shoe\u201d.<\/p>\n
This name derives from the shape of the structure, as the walls are strongly slanted at the base to better protect against artillery attacks. All of the eastern section \u2013 the oldest part \u2013 is now called the Rocca Vecchia (\u201cold castle\u201d) or Femmina (\u201cfemale\u201d)<\/strong>, while the new part, built entirely in stone, consists of two parts: the Mastio<\/strong> on the western end, which is a large, isolated circular tower inside the walls, and a rectangle of curtain-walls with four, high circular towers at each corner.<\/p>\nA double curtain-wall was also built between the Mastio and the Rocca Vecchia to join the two fortifications and also created the necessary space to house a sizable garrison.
The exterior of the towers and walls consist of a wide base and a walkway supported by protruding corbels which served a defensive function, or rather were used to launch stones and other materials onto approaching enemies. This walkway was also built onto the older sections and thus the entire perimeter today appears homogeneous.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”3.3.1″ custom_padding=”57px|0px|0px|0px|false|false”][et_pb_fullwidth_slider show_arrows=”off” show_pagination=”off” admin_label=”slider-pagina_interna – immagine con link” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ header_font=”Roboto|500|||||||” header_font_size_tablet=”39px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#ffffff” button_border_color=”#ffffff” button_font=”||||||||” button_icon_color=”#ffffff” custom_padding=”250px||250px|” button_bg_color_hover=”#e14b28″ saved_tabs=”all” button_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_size__hover=”null” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_size__hover=”null” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover=”null” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_color__hover=”null” button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_color__hover=”null” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover=”null” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_width__hover=”null” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover=”null” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover=”null” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_color__hover=”null” button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_color__hover=”null” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover=”null” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_radius__hover=”null” button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_radius__hover=”null” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover=”null” button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”on” button_bg_color__hover=”#e14b28″ button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_bg_color__hover=”null” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover=”null”][et_pb_slide heading=”The convict dinners<\/span>” button_text=”SCOPRI DI PI\u00d9” button_link=”\/?page_id=56772″ use_bg_overlay=”off” use_text_overlay=”off” admin_title=”Immagine linkata ” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ header_font=”||||||||” background_color=”#ffffff” background_image=”http:\/\/volterratur.softhrod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/header-cene-galeotte.jpg” button_on_hover=”on” button_alignment=”center” button_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off”]\nLa ricercatezza della cucina stellata, un progetto di reinserimento dopo il carcere, la bella cornice della rocca medicea: questi gli ingredienti delle cene, esperienza unica nel cuore della citt\u00e0.<\/h2>\n[\/et_pb_slide][\/et_pb_fullwidth_slider][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ custom_padding=”14px|0px|39px|0px” global_module=”47922″][et_pb_row custom_padding=”40px|0px|0px|0px” _builder_version=”3.0.106″ module_alignment=”center”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/volterratur.softhrod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/footer-logo-grey.jpg” align=”center” admin_label=”logo Footer” _builder_version=”3.0.106″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Menu Pagine Custom” _builder_version=”3.20.2″ text_font=”Roboto||||||||” text_text_color=”#666666″ text_font_size=”12px” text_orientation=”center”]\n

Situato a 3 km ad Est di Volterra, il Monte Voltraio emerge e si differenzia dal paesaggio argilloso circostante col suo inconfondibile profilo pressoch\u00e9 piramidale dovuto alla sua costituzione geologica in sabbie e calcari arenacei che danno luogo, sul lato pi\u00f9 orientale del rilievo, ad una vera e propria scarpata rocciosa verticale. Proprio in virt\u00f9 di tali caratteristiche naturali (che ne garantivano dunque una facile difendibilit\u00e0 da ogni versante, rendendo la spianata sommitale praticamente inespugnabile), questo piccolo rilievo (458 m.) divenne sede di un insediamento fortificato a controllo delle vie di transito provenienti dal territorio senese e dalla Val d\u2019Era.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion closed_toggle_text_color=”#e14b28″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” icon_color=”#e14b28″ admin_label=”Accordion – TESTO LEGGI DI PI\u00d9” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ body_font=”Roboto||||||||” body_text_align=”center” toggle_font=”Roboto||||||||” border_color_all=”#e14b28″][et_pb_accordion_item title=”LEGGI DI PI\u00d9” open=”on” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ title_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” text_orientation=”center”]\n
Le prime notizie su questa fortificazione risalgono al 967 attestandone la propriet\u00e0 al vescovo di Volterra, che vi esercit\u00f2 la propria signoria fino alla prima met\u00e0 del XIII secolo quando il castello divenne oggetto di vertenze e di contese col comune di Volterra che lo assal\u00ec nel 1218 e che, dopo alterne e prolungate vicende belliche, fin\u00ec per ridurlo sotto il proprio dominio (1252). Conquistata dai fiorentini nel XIV secolo, la rocca fu quindi restituita ai volterrani, che ne reclamavano la propriet\u00e0, a condizione che fosse smantellata; assalita nuovamente dai volterrani nel 1427 fu infine danneggiata irrimediabilmente nel 1433 dalle masnade al seguito di Niccol\u00f2 Piccinino.<\/p>\n
Oggi rimangono solo pochi resti visibili, parti di torri, della cinta muraria, della pieve e delle abitazioni. Gli edifici pi\u00f9 importanti si trovavano sulla sommit\u00e0 della collina, mentre la pieve ed il borgo, a loro volta circondati da una cinta muraria, erano sulle pendici.<\/p>\n
Nella prima met\u00e0 del Duecento, quando il territorio del comune di Volterra contava circa 7.000 abitanti, la rocca e il borgo di Monte Voltraio ospitavano circa 1.000 persone: una prova ulteriore del ruolo rilevante svolto da questo insediamento nell\u2019organizzazione e nel controllo di una zona strategica del territorio volteranno durante il Medioevo.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.3.1″ custom_padding=”0|0px|3px|0px|false|false” locked=”off”][et_pb_row custom_padding=”57px|0px|27px|0px|false|false” _builder_version=”3.0.47″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Titolo sezione – suggerimenti e approfondimenti” _builder_version=”3.20.2″]\n

Fra i tanti monumenti e centri abitati che occupano le sommit\u00e0 delle colline della Valdicecina il castello di Rocca Sillana \u00e8 uno dei pi\u00f9 significativi ed era uno dei maggiori insediamenti della zona, aperto al pubblico da pochi anni.<\/p>\n
Sorge isolato su un\u2019altura impervia e circondata da una fitta boscaglia, ma in realt\u00e0 \u00e8 un sito ricco di storia, che fu densamente abitato durante il medioevo e che controllava un territorio molto vasto.<\/p>\n
Secondo la tradizione, il nome di questo castello deriva da quello del generale romano Silla che assedi\u00f2 Volterra nell\u201880 a. C. In realt\u00e0 il nome di Rocca Sillana \u00e8 piuttosto recente, essendo nota fino alla met\u00e0 del Settecento con il nome di castello o rocca di Sillano, termine che \u00e8 testimoniato per la prima volta in un documento del 945.<\/p>\n
Invece \u00e8 molto probabile che il termine sillano sia semplicemente una trasformazione di Silvanus “boscoso” e del resto nel medioevo questa era una zona molto ricca di boschi.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion closed_toggle_text_color=”#e14b28″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” icon_color=”#e14b28″ admin_label=”Accordion – TESTO APPROFONDIMENTO” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ body_font=”Roboto||||||||” toggle_font=”Roboto||||||||” border_color_all=”#e14b28″ locked=”off”][et_pb_accordion_item title=”LEGGI DI PI\u00d9” open=”on” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ title_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” text_orientation=”center”]\n
LA STORIA<\/strong><\/p>\nIl borgo di Sillano risale all\u2019epoca etrusca, come testimoniano vari ritrovamenti archeologici. La prima notizia dell\u2019insediamento di \u201cSillano\u201d<\/strong> compare in un documento del X secolo del vescovo di Volterra mentre la prima menzione dell\u2019insediamento fortificato si trova in un documento del 1067 relativo a una vendita di terreni. Probabilmente a questo periodo risale la torre di avvistamento, oggi inglobata nella rocca.
Nei secoli successivi la Rocca di \u201cSillano\u201d<\/strong> subisce molteplici passaggi di propriet\u00e0.
Nel 1221 entra a far parte della giurisdizione di Volterra<\/strong>; nel XIV secolo diviene feudo della famiglia Petroni di Siena. Il 26 aprile 1386 la Rocca \u00e8 occupata da Martino Magli da Casole d\u2019Elsa e successivamente viene acquistata dalla Signoria di Firenze. L\u201911 novembre 1406 i Fiorentini, con la resa di Pisa, cedono il castello ad Andrea di messer Gherardo Gambacorti di Pisa, in ricompensa di servizi resi.
Da allora la fortezza rester\u00e0 sempre sotto la giurisdizione di Firenze<\/strong>. A partire dal XVI secolo inizia la fase di decadenza. Una lettera del 1527 del Capitano di Volterra ai Fiorentini, rivela che la Rocca \u00e8 ormai sfuggita a ogni controllo diventando rifugio per banditi e delinquenti.
Nella seconda met\u00e0 del Settecento<\/strong> il borgo di Sillano passa alla Comunit\u00e0 di Montecastelli che successivamente, nel 1788, viene unificata con quella di Castelnuovo. Con una delibera del 9 luglio 1873 il Borgo di Sillano passa, attraverso un atto di permuta, dal comune di Castelnuovo a quello di Pomarance. Nel 1850 la rocca era abitata dalla famiglia Acciai che \u00e8 costretta ad abbandonarla a causa delle continue \u2018ruberie\u2019. Alla fine degli anni \u201880 del 1900 la Rocca fu donata al Comune di Pomarance, dalla Famiglia Paladini.<\/p>\nLA ROCCA<\/strong><\/p>\nDalla Rocca la vista spazia a 360\u00b0 a coprire buona parte del territorio toscano.
L\u2019aspetto attuale \u00e8 il risultato di molteplici interventi avvenuti nel corso dei secoli, per adeguare l\u2019iniziale fortilizio (XI-XII secolo), all\u2019evoluzione della tecnica militare, culminata nel XV secolo con l\u2019introduzione delle armi da fuoco. A quel periodo risale la realizzazione dell\u2019imponente cortina muraria, a pianta poligonale, dotata di torrette angolari.
Intorno alla Rocca si sviluppa il borgo fortificato<\/strong>, le cui mura conservano resti dei due ingressi principali: Porta Volterrana e Porta San Rocco<\/strong>, con numerosi resti di abitazioni nei pressi di Porta San Rocco.
L\u2019interno della Rocca appare articolato in una possente torre di avvistamento (guardingo)<\/strong> e tre grandi corpi di fabbrica addossati alle mura che si affacciano su un cortile interno.
A sinistra dell\u2019ingresso inglobata nel fabbricato a Nord (A) si erge la torre a pianta quadrata, l\u2019edificio pi\u00f9 antico dell\u2019originario impianto medievale (XI-XII secolo). L\u2019accesso alla torre avveniva attraverso una porta collocata sul lato Sud ma non rimangono tracce della scala. All\u2019interno mensoloni angolari in pietra, supportavano i piani pavimentali in legno. Lo scavo all\u2019interno della Torre, condotto negli anni \u201980 dalla Soprintendenza Archeologica, ha riportato alla luce materiale ceramico, punte di freccia, frammenti di vetro e una spada, esposti in una sala della Mostra Permanente Guerrieri e Artigiani a Pomarance.
Una scalinata in pietra conduce nel fabbricato A<\/strong>, probabilmente riservato al capo della guarnigione, e dotato delle comodit\u00e0 indispensabili alla vita quotidiana. Ai lati dell\u2019ingresso sono conservati gli alloggiamenti per le sbarre che la bloccavano dall\u2019interno.
Nel fabbricato B<\/strong>, sono visibili alcune \u2018feritoie per arciere\u2019 e un \u2018necessario\u2019 riutilizzato come \u2018armadio\u2019. L\u2019edificio \u00e8 suddiviso in tre ambienti, collocati a diversi livelli che presentano ancora resti delle pavimentazioni originarie in cotto.
Il fabbricato C<\/strong> \u00e8 solo parzialmente conservato per il crollo di gran parte della volta. Il grande ambiente, con volte a botte, era suddiviso in tre unit\u00e0. Al suo interno, sono visibili i resti di un grande forno per alimenti, un\u2019arciera, una nicchia con un condotto di scarico verso l\u2019esterno e quanto rimane di un grande caminetto. Negli edifici B e C l\u2019accesso ai piani superiori avveniva attraverso una scalinata a pi\u00f9 rampe realizzata in parte in muratura e in parte in materiale deperibile. I piani superiori non si sono conservati.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.0.48″ background_size=”initial”

Among the many monuments and settlements that dominate the undulating hills of the Cecina Valley, the Rocca Sillana castle is one of the most significant.<\/p>\n
The hamlet of Sillano dates back to Etruscan times, as witnessed by various archaeological finds. The settlement of Sillano was first mentioned in a document from the 10th century written by the bishop of Volterra, and the fortified settlement in 1067 in a document recording the sale of lands. Probably the guard tower \u2013 now inserted into the structure of the fortress \u2013 dates back to this period. <\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion closed_toggle_text_color=”#e14b28″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” icon_color=”#e14b28″ admin_label=”Accordion – TESTO APPROFONDIMENTO” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ body_font=”Roboto||||||||” toggle_font=”Roboto||||||||” border_color_all=”#e14b28″ locked=”off”][et_pb_accordion_item title=”READ MORE” open=”on” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ title_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” text_orientation=”center”]\n
THE HISTORY<\/strong><\/p>\nOver the centuries, the Sillano stronghold underwent several changes of ownership.
In 1221, it was included in the jurisdiction of Volterra, and in the 14th century it became part of the feud of the Petroni family.
On 26th April 1386, the stronghold was occupied by Martino Magli from Casole d\u2019Elsa, and afterwards it was purchased by the Signoria of Florence.
On 11th November 1406 with the surrender of Pisa, the Florentines gave the stronghold to Andrea Messer Gherardo Gambacorti from Pisa, as a reward for the services he rendered. Since then, the fortress has been under the jurisdiction of Florence.
In the 16th century the period of decline began. A letter of 1527 by the Capitano of Volterra to the Florentines reveals that the fortress at the time was uncontrollable, having become a refuge for bandits and criminals.
In the second half of the 18th century, the village of Sillano passed to the Municipality of Montecastelli that subsequently, in 1788, was unified to that of Castelnuovo<\/strong><\/a>. With a resolution of 9th July 1873, the village of Sillano passed in exchange from the town of Castelnuovo to Pomarance<\/strong><\/a>. In 1850, the stronghold was inhabited by the Acciai family who were forced to abandon it due to continuous \u2018thefts\u2019. In the late 1980s, the fortress was donated to Pomarance by the Paladini family.<\/p>\nTHE ROCCA<\/strong><\/p>\nA 360\u00b0 view from the fortress overlooks most of Tuscany. The current appearance is the result of multiple renovations made over the centuries, to adapt the original stronghold (11th and 12th centuries) to the evolution of military technology, culminating with the introduction of firearms in the 15th century. In that period the imposing polygonal perimeter walls, with corner turrets, were built. Around the fortress, there is a fortified village, whose walls still show the remains of the two main entrances: Porta Volterrana and Porta San Rocco, with numerous remains of houses near Porta San Rocco. Inside the fortress is a mighty guard tower and three large buildings leaning on the walls that overlook a courtyard.
To the left of the entrance, the square tower assimilated into the building<\/strong> to the north (A<\/strong>) stands, this is the oldest building coming from the original medieval stronghold (11th-12th century). Access to the tower was through a door located on the south side but there is no longer trace of the flight of steps. Inside angular stone corbels supported the wooden floors. The excavation carried out by the Archaeological Superintendence inside the Tower in the 1980s has unearthed pottery, arrowheads, fragments of glass and a sword, now displayed in a hall of the

\nFu fondato nel medioevo da parte dei vescovi di Volterra che ne rimasero i proprietari per secoli. E’ conosciuto fin dal 990 quando si trovava al centro di un\u2019area intensamente popolata. Fu a lungo un centro importante per il controllo del territorio ed anche una residenza dei vescovi volterrani.<\/p>\n
Nel XIII secolo fu anche sede della zecca del vescovo di Volterra, che vi batteva moneta con l\u2019argento delle miniere vescovili di Montieri.
\nNel Trecento entr\u00f2 sotto il controllo del comune di Volterra. Oggi rimane in piedi solo parte della torre e pochi frammenti delle mura, intorno si notano le tracce del borgo, quasi scomparse all\u2019interno del bosco.<\/p>\n
Nel 1218 fu distrutto una prima volta dai soldati del comune di Volterra, ma venne subito ricostruito; nel 1235 vi fu assediato dalle truppe volterrane il vescovo Pagano Pannocchieschi ed uguale sorte tocc\u00f2 nel 1267 al vescovo Alberto degli Scolari.
\nIl castello \u00e8 costituito da un nucleo fortificato, il cassero, composto da una torre, che \u00e8 l\u2019unico edificio rimasto in parte in piedi, e da altre strutture in muratura; dalle aperture sopravvissute possiamo intuire che la torre doveva avere almeno tre piani oltre al pianterreno. Sotto al pianterreno vi \u00e8 una stanza interrata che doveva essere una cantina o un deposito. Una cinta muraria proteggeva questa zona del castello.<\/p>\n
Al di l\u00e0 di queste mura si estendeva il borgo, composto da numerosi edifici di cui si possono oggi leggere le tracce sul terreno; non conosciamo con precisione l\u2019estensione dell\u2019abitato a causa del bosco che ha occupato quest\u2019area. Non \u00e8 possibile nemmeno determinare se il borgo avesse una cinta muraria di difesa.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion closed_toggle_text_color=”#e14b28″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” admin_label=”Accordion SCARICA GUIDE” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ body_font=”Roboto||||||||” body_text_align=”center” toggle_font=”Roboto||||||||” border_color_all=”#e14b28″ locked=”off”][et_pb_accordion_item title=”DOWNLOAD THE BERIGNONE NATURE RESERVE GUIDE” open=”on” icon_color=”#e14b28″ _builder_version=”3.21.1″ title_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” text_orientation=”center”]\n

Il castello \u00e8 il pi\u00f9 antico fra quelli documentati in Valdicecina ed \u00e8 costituito da una torre circondata da una cinta muraria in pietra.
\nIl primo documento che ne parla \u00e8 del 954 e menziona il luogo come semplice torre. La torre, il cui aspetto \u00e8 oggi duecentesco, esiste ancora ed \u00e8 circondata da una cinta muraria.<\/p>\n
Vi vennero compiuti vari interventi di restauro nei secoli successivi, modificandone l\u2019aspetto, ma sia la torre che la cinta sono ancora in buono stato di conservazione.<\/p>\n

Il castello \u00e8 il pi\u00f9 antico fra quelli documentati in Valdicecina ed \u00e8 costituito da una torre circondata da una cinta muraria in pietra.
\nIl primo documento che ne parla \u00e8 del 954 e menziona il luogo come semplice torre. La torre, il cui aspetto \u00e8 oggi duecentesco, esiste ancora ed \u00e8 circondata da una cinta muraria.<\/p>\n
Vi vennero compiuti vari interventi di restauro nei secoli successivi, modificandone l\u2019aspetto, ma sia la torre che la cinta sono ancora in buono stato di conservazione.<\/p>\n

Il castello \u2013 posto nel piccolo borgo di Querceto \u2013 oggi sede di un\u2019azienda vinicola, \u00e8 un bell\u2019esempio del sistema militare presente in tutta la Valdicecina: zona di passaggio, sintesi tra la Toscana interna e quella marittima, la valle \u00e8 ancora oggi punteggiata da antiche rocche che, nel medioevo, servivano da difesa per questi luoghi strategici.
\nIl castello di Querceto \u00e8 documentato fin dal XI secolo, come appartenente alla diocesi di Massa Marittima che poi lo cedette al monastero di Monteverdi. Nel 1208 questi cedette il territorio di Querceto al comune di Volterra<\/a> e da allora i suoi abitanti furono cittadini volterrani.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion closed_toggle_text_color=”#e14b28″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” icon_color=”#e14b28″ admin_label=”Accordion – TESTO LEGGI DI PI\u00d9” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ body_font=”Roboto||||||||” body_text_align=”center” toggle_font=”Roboto||||||||” border_color_all=”#e14b28″][et_pb_accordion_item title=”LEGGI DI PI\u00d9” open=”on” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ title_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” text_orientation=”center”]\nLa prima attestazione di Querceto \u00e8 contenuta in un documento datato al 1082 nel quale si cita la localit\u00e0 come villa. Il centro assurse ben presto al rango di castello come lascia chiaramente intendere la menzione di Querceto in un documento databile al 1118.
Lasciando l\u2019automobile al parcheggio all\u2019ingresso del borgo, \u00e8 possibile incamminarsi lungo il piccolo viale che conduce alla piazzetta sulla quale si affaccia la Pieve di San Giovanni Battista<\/a>.
La storia di Querceto, infatti, \u00e8 strettamente legata a quella della famiglia Ginori-Lisci, dalla quale prende il nome anche il castello attorno al quale si sviluppa tutto l\u2019abitato.
Il castello attualmente visibile \u00e8 stato edificato agli inizi del Novecento, per opera del conte Lorenzo Ginori il quale nel 1907 decise di ricostruire una dimora per la propria famiglia laddove si supponeva sorgesse la residenza signorile medievale. La costruzione \u00e8 assai imponente ed \u00e8 costituita da pi\u00f9 corpi uniti tra loro.
Emergono tra tutti la torre centrale, che termina con un ballatoio sorretto da beccatelli e coronato da merli \u201cguelfi\u201d ovvero a muratura piena (quelli ghibellini sono invece a coda di rondine rovesciata), e la facciata del primo ambiente del castello, quello che si vede non appena ci si incammina per le strette vie del centro.
Durante i mesi primaverili ed estivi la facciata \u00e8 completamente coperta da una pianta di vite americana che la caratterizza, rendendola assolutamente inconfondibile.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][et_pb_button button_url=”\/download\/montecatini-e-il-suo-territorio-guida\/?wpdmdl=43860&masterkey=5bafac1ac1568″ url_new_window=”on”

The first mention of Querceto comes in a document dating to 1082 which classifies the locality as a villa. The centre though soon became a castle as mentioned in a document of 1118.
Leaving the car in the car park at the entrance to the medieval village, follow the little avenue that leads to the square where the parish church, St John the Baptist<\/a>, is to be found.
The history of Querceto is tied to that of the Ginori-Lisci family, after whom the castle, around which the village grew, is named.
The castle as it is today was built at the beginning of the 20th century, by Count Lorenzo who decided in 1907 to build a family home where it was assumed the medieval residence had been.
The building is palatial and includes several parts joined together. Topping the building is the central tower, garnished with a balcony on-brackets crowned with Guelph merlons (the Ghibelline are overturned swallow-tails), which comes to view on entering the medieval village.
In the spring and summer the walls are completely covered by an unmistakable Virginia creeper.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button

La Fortezza fu costruita nel 1474 \u2013 sulle vestigia di fortificazioni pi\u00f9 antiche – esattamente due anni dopo che la citt\u00e0 di Firenze aveva conquistato la citt\u00e0 dopo un\u2019aspra guerra per il controllo delle miniere di allume, un importante minerale usato nella lavorazione dei tessuti.

La Fortezza non era destinata soltanto a proteggere la citt\u00e0, ma soprattutto a tenerla sotto controllo e impedire ribellioni. Una parte di essa \u2013 il settore pi\u00f9 a Est \u2013 esisteva gi\u00e0 prima del 1474, e costituiva il castello pi\u00f9 antico, il Cassero<\/strong>.
\nQuesta struttura, che ampliava le difese della citt\u00e0, era destinata a proteggere la zona intorno alla Porta a Selci<\/strong> e fu completata nel 1292.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Intorno al 1343 Gualtieri di Brienne, Duca di Atene e signore di Firenze, prese il controllo del Cassero e costru\u00ec una nuova torre, dall\u2019altro lato dell\u2019antica Porta a Selci. La torre venne poi unita al Cassero andando a costituire una struttura unica protetta da mura di cinta e fossati.<\/p>\n
Nel 1430 si dette inizio alla costruzione dello sperone che ancora oggi si trova all\u2019estremit\u00e0 est della Fortezza e che da allora venne definito \u201cla scarpa\u201d, che fu terminato pochi anni dopo, nel 1432. Il termine deriva dalla sua forma, infatti le pareti presentano una pendenza accentuata nella parte inferiore destinata alla difesa contro i colpi dell\u2019artiglieria.
Tutto il settore est \u2013 quello pi\u00f9 antico \u2013 \u00e8 adesso chiamato \u201cRocca Vecchia<\/strong>\u201d o \u201cFemmina<\/strong>\u201c, mentre la parte nuova, interamente realizzata in pietra, \u00e8 composta da due parti: il \u201cMastio<\/strong>\u201d costruito all\u2019estremit\u00e0 ovest, che \u00e8 formato da una grande torre circolare isolata all\u2019interno e da una cortina muraria a pianta quadrata ai cui angoli sono collocate quattro alte torri circolari.<\/p>\nFra il Mastio e la Rocca Vecchia fu costruita anche una doppia cortina che univa le due rocche e che consentiva al tempo stesso di ricoverare una consistente guarnigione.
Le torri e le mura presentano la scarpa e un camminamento sostenuto da beccatelli sporgenti verso l\u2019esterno, che erano destinati alla difesa \u201cpiombante\u201d, cio\u00e8 destinata al lancio dall\u2019alto di pietre ed altro materiale contro gli attaccanti. Questo camminamento fu costruito anche nelle parti pi\u00f9 antiche e cos\u00ec l\u2019intero perimetro risulta oggi omogeneo.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”3.3.1″ custom_padding=”57px|0px|0px|0px|false|false”][et_pb_fullwidth_slider show_arrows=”off” show_pagination=”off” admin_label=”slider-pagina_interna – immagine con link” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ header_font=”Roboto|500|||||||” header_font_size_tablet=”39px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#ffffff” button_border_color=”#ffffff” button_font=”||||||||” button_icon_color=”#ffffff” custom_padding=”250px||250px|” button_bg_color_hover=”#e14b28″ saved_tabs=”all” button_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_size__hover=”null” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_size__hover=”null” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover=”null” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_color__hover=”null” button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_color__hover=”null” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover=”null” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_width__hover=”null” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover=”null” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover=”null” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_color__hover=”null” button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_color__hover=”null” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover=”null” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_radius__hover=”null” button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_radius__hover=”null” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover=”null” button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”on” button_bg_color__hover=”#e14b28″ button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_bg_color__hover=”null” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover=”null”][et_pb_slide heading=”Le cene galeotte<\/span>” button_text=”SCOPRI DI PI\u00d9” button_link=”\/?page_id=41456″ use_bg_overlay=”off” use_text_overlay=”off” admin_title=”Immagine linkata ” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ header_font=”||||||||” background_color=”#ffffff” background_image=”http:\/\/volterratur.softhrod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/header-cene-galeotte.jpg” button_on_hover=”on” button_alignment=”center” button_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off”]\nLa ricercatezza della cucina stellata, un progetto di reinserimento dopo il carcere, la bella cornice della rocca medicea: questi gli ingredienti delle cene, esperienza unica nel cuore della citt\u00e0.<\/h2>\n[\/et_pb_slide][\/et_pb_fullwidth_slider][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.12.2″ custom_padding=”14px|0px|39px|0px” global_module=”43547″ locked=”off”][et_pb_row custom_padding=”40px|0px|0px|0px” _builder_version=”3.0.106″ module_alignment=”center”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/volterratur.softhrod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/footer-logo-grey.jpg” align=”center” admin_label=”logo Footer” _builder_version=”3.0.106″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Menu Pagine Custom” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ text_font=”Roboto||||||||” text_text_color=”#666666″ text_font_size=”12px” text_orientation=”center”]\n

From its commanding hilltop position the enormous Medici Fortress looks out over Volterra and the surrounding countryside. This massive building is visible from miles away and characterizes the skyline of the hill upon which the city lies.
The Fortress was built in 1474, exactly two years after Florence conquered the city of Volterra<\/a> following a fierce battle over the control of nearby alum mines, an important mineral used in the production of textiles.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The Fortress was intended not only to protect the city, but primarily to keep the city under tight control and to prevent revolts against the new masters of the city. A part of the fortress \u2013 the easternmost part \u2013 was already standing before 1474 and was an ancient castle called the Cassero<\/strong>.<\/p>\nThe construction of this section was completed in 1292 and was designed to augment the pre-existing defensive structures of the city and protect the area around Porta a Selci<\/strong>.<\/p>\nAround the year 1343, Gualtieri di Brienne, Duke of Athens and lord of Florence, took control of the Cassero and built a new tower on the other side of the ancient Porta a Selci. The tower was then joined to the Cassero thus creating a single structure protected by an outer ring of walls and ditches.<\/p>\n
In 1430 began the construction of the prow-shaped outer wall which still stands at the easternmost end of the fortress; this defensive innovation, which was completed in 1432, has ever since been called \u201cthe shoe\u201d.<\/p>\n
This name derives from the shape of the structure, as the walls are strongly slanted at the base to better protect against artillery attacks. All of the eastern section \u2013 the oldest part \u2013 is now called the Rocca Vecchia (\u201cold castle\u201d) or Femmina (\u201cfemale\u201d)<\/strong>, while the new part, built entirely in stone, consists of two parts: the Mastio<\/strong> on the western end, which is a large, isolated circular tower inside the walls, and a rectangle of curtain-walls with four, high circular towers at each corner.<\/p>\nA double curtain-wall was also built between the Mastio and the Rocca Vecchia to join the two fortifications and also created the necessary space to house a sizable garrison.
The exterior of the towers and walls consist of a wide base and a walkway supported by protruding corbels which served a defensive function, or rather were used to launch stones and other materials onto approaching enemies. This walkway was also built onto the older sections and thus the entire perimeter today appears homogeneous.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”3.3.1″ custom_padding=”57px|0px|0px|0px|false|false”][et_pb_fullwidth_slider show_arrows=”off” show_pagination=”off” admin_label=”slider-pagina_interna – immagine con link” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ header_font=”Roboto|500|||||||” header_font_size_tablet=”39px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#ffffff” button_border_color=”#ffffff” button_font=”||||||||” button_icon_color=”#ffffff” custom_padding=”250px||250px|” button_bg_color_hover=”#e14b28″ saved_tabs=”all” button_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_size__hover=”null” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_size__hover=”null” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover=”null” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_color__hover=”null” button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_color__hover=”null” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover=”null” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_width__hover=”null” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover=”null” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover=”null” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_color__hover=”null” button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_color__hover=”null” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover=”null” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_radius__hover=”null” button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_radius__hover=”null” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover=”null” button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”on” button_bg_color__hover=”#e14b28″ button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_bg_color__hover=”null” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover=”null”][et_pb_slide heading=”The convict dinners<\/span>” button_text=”SCOPRI DI PI\u00d9” button_link=”\/?page_id=56772″ use_bg_overlay=”off” use_text_overlay=”off” admin_title=”Immagine linkata ” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ header_font=”||||||||” background_color=”#ffffff” background_image=”http:\/\/volterratur.softhrod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/header-cene-galeotte.jpg” button_on_hover=”on” button_alignment=”center” button_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off”]\nLa ricercatezza della cucina stellata, un progetto di reinserimento dopo il carcere, la bella cornice della rocca medicea: questi gli ingredienti delle cene, esperienza unica nel cuore della citt\u00e0.<\/h2>\n[\/et_pb_slide][\/et_pb_fullwidth_slider][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ custom_padding=”14px|0px|39px|0px” global_module=”47922″][et_pb_row custom_padding=”40px|0px|0px|0px” _builder_version=”3.0.106″ module_alignment=”center”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/volterratur.softhrod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/footer-logo-grey.jpg” align=”center” admin_label=”logo Footer” _builder_version=”3.0.106″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Menu Pagine Custom” _builder_version=”3.20.2″ text_font=”Roboto||||||||” text_text_color=”#666666″ text_font_size=”12px” text_orientation=”center”]\n

Situato a 3 km ad Est di Volterra, il Monte Voltraio emerge e si differenzia dal paesaggio argilloso circostante col suo inconfondibile profilo pressoch\u00e9 piramidale dovuto alla sua costituzione geologica in sabbie e calcari arenacei che danno luogo, sul lato pi\u00f9 orientale del rilievo, ad una vera e propria scarpata rocciosa verticale. Proprio in virt\u00f9 di tali caratteristiche naturali (che ne garantivano dunque una facile difendibilit\u00e0 da ogni versante, rendendo la spianata sommitale praticamente inespugnabile), questo piccolo rilievo (458 m.) divenne sede di un insediamento fortificato a controllo delle vie di transito provenienti dal territorio senese e dalla Val d\u2019Era.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion closed_toggle_text_color=”#e14b28″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” icon_color=”#e14b28″ admin_label=”Accordion – TESTO LEGGI DI PI\u00d9” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ body_font=”Roboto||||||||” body_text_align=”center” toggle_font=”Roboto||||||||” border_color_all=”#e14b28″][et_pb_accordion_item title=”LEGGI DI PI\u00d9” open=”on” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ title_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” text_orientation=”center”]\n
Le prime notizie su questa fortificazione risalgono al 967 attestandone la propriet\u00e0 al vescovo di Volterra, che vi esercit\u00f2 la propria signoria fino alla prima met\u00e0 del XIII secolo quando il castello divenne oggetto di vertenze e di contese col comune di Volterra che lo assal\u00ec nel 1218 e che, dopo alterne e prolungate vicende belliche, fin\u00ec per ridurlo sotto il proprio dominio (1252). Conquistata dai fiorentini nel XIV secolo, la rocca fu quindi restituita ai volterrani, che ne reclamavano la propriet\u00e0, a condizione che fosse smantellata; assalita nuovamente dai volterrani nel 1427 fu infine danneggiata irrimediabilmente nel 1433 dalle masnade al seguito di Niccol\u00f2 Piccinino.<\/p>\n
Oggi rimangono solo pochi resti visibili, parti di torri, della cinta muraria, della pieve e delle abitazioni. Gli edifici pi\u00f9 importanti si trovavano sulla sommit\u00e0 della collina, mentre la pieve ed il borgo, a loro volta circondati da una cinta muraria, erano sulle pendici.<\/p>\n
Nella prima met\u00e0 del Duecento, quando il territorio del comune di Volterra contava circa 7.000 abitanti, la rocca e il borgo di Monte Voltraio ospitavano circa 1.000 persone: una prova ulteriore del ruolo rilevante svolto da questo insediamento nell\u2019organizzazione e nel controllo di una zona strategica del territorio volteranno durante il Medioevo.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.3.1″ custom_padding=”0|0px|3px|0px|false|false” locked=”off”][et_pb_row custom_padding=”57px|0px|27px|0px|false|false” _builder_version=”3.0.47″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Titolo sezione – suggerimenti e approfondimenti” _builder_version=”3.20.2″]\n

Fra i tanti monumenti e centri abitati che occupano le sommit\u00e0 delle colline della Valdicecina il castello di Rocca Sillana \u00e8 uno dei pi\u00f9 significativi ed era uno dei maggiori insediamenti della zona, aperto al pubblico da pochi anni.<\/p>\n
Sorge isolato su un\u2019altura impervia e circondata da una fitta boscaglia, ma in realt\u00e0 \u00e8 un sito ricco di storia, che fu densamente abitato durante il medioevo e che controllava un territorio molto vasto.<\/p>\n
Secondo la tradizione, il nome di questo castello deriva da quello del generale romano Silla che assedi\u00f2 Volterra nell\u201880 a. C. In realt\u00e0 il nome di Rocca Sillana \u00e8 piuttosto recente, essendo nota fino alla met\u00e0 del Settecento con il nome di castello o rocca di Sillano, termine che \u00e8 testimoniato per la prima volta in un documento del 945.<\/p>\n
Invece \u00e8 molto probabile che il termine sillano sia semplicemente una trasformazione di Silvanus “boscoso” e del resto nel medioevo questa era una zona molto ricca di boschi.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion closed_toggle_text_color=”#e14b28″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” icon_color=”#e14b28″ admin_label=”Accordion – TESTO APPROFONDIMENTO” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ body_font=”Roboto||||||||” toggle_font=”Roboto||||||||” border_color_all=”#e14b28″ locked=”off”][et_pb_accordion_item title=”LEGGI DI PI\u00d9” open=”on” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ title_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” text_orientation=”center”]\n
LA STORIA<\/strong><\/p>\nIl borgo di Sillano risale all\u2019epoca etrusca, come testimoniano vari ritrovamenti archeologici. La prima notizia dell\u2019insediamento di \u201cSillano\u201d<\/strong> compare in un documento del X secolo del vescovo di Volterra mentre la prima menzione dell\u2019insediamento fortificato si trova in un documento del 1067 relativo a una vendita di terreni. Probabilmente a questo periodo risale la torre di avvistamento, oggi inglobata nella rocca.
Nei secoli successivi la Rocca di \u201cSillano\u201d<\/strong> subisce molteplici passaggi di propriet\u00e0.
Nel 1221 entra a far parte della giurisdizione di Volterra<\/strong>; nel XIV secolo diviene feudo della famiglia Petroni di Siena. Il 26 aprile 1386 la Rocca \u00e8 occupata da Martino Magli da Casole d\u2019Elsa e successivamente viene acquistata dalla Signoria di Firenze. L\u201911 novembre 1406 i Fiorentini, con la resa di Pisa, cedono il castello ad Andrea di messer Gherardo Gambacorti di Pisa, in ricompensa di servizi resi.
Da allora la fortezza rester\u00e0 sempre sotto la giurisdizione di Firenze<\/strong>. A partire dal XVI secolo inizia la fase di decadenza. Una lettera del 1527 del Capitano di Volterra ai Fiorentini, rivela che la Rocca \u00e8 ormai sfuggita a ogni controllo diventando rifugio per banditi e delinquenti.
Nella seconda met\u00e0 del Settecento<\/strong> il borgo di Sillano passa alla Comunit\u00e0 di Montecastelli che successivamente, nel 1788, viene unificata con quella di Castelnuovo. Con una delibera del 9 luglio 1873 il Borgo di Sillano passa, attraverso un atto di permuta, dal comune di Castelnuovo a quello di Pomarance. Nel 1850 la rocca era abitata dalla famiglia Acciai che \u00e8 costretta ad abbandonarla a causa delle continue \u2018ruberie\u2019. Alla fine degli anni \u201880 del 1900 la Rocca fu donata al Comune di Pomarance, dalla Famiglia Paladini.<\/p>\nLA ROCCA<\/strong><\/p>\nDalla Rocca la vista spazia a 360\u00b0 a coprire buona parte del territorio toscano.
L\u2019aspetto attuale \u00e8 il risultato di molteplici interventi avvenuti nel corso dei secoli, per adeguare l\u2019iniziale fortilizio (XI-XII secolo), all\u2019evoluzione della tecnica militare, culminata nel XV secolo con l\u2019introduzione delle armi da fuoco. A quel periodo risale la realizzazione dell\u2019imponente cortina muraria, a pianta poligonale, dotata di torrette angolari.
Intorno alla Rocca si sviluppa il borgo fortificato<\/strong>, le cui mura conservano resti dei due ingressi principali: Porta Volterrana e Porta San Rocco<\/strong>, con numerosi resti di abitazioni nei pressi di Porta San Rocco.
L\u2019interno della Rocca appare articolato in una possente torre di avvistamento (guardingo)<\/strong> e tre grandi corpi di fabbrica addossati alle mura che si affacciano su un cortile interno.
A sinistra dell\u2019ingresso inglobata nel fabbricato a Nord (A) si erge la torre a pianta quadrata, l\u2019edificio pi\u00f9 antico dell\u2019originario impianto medievale (XI-XII secolo). L\u2019accesso alla torre avveniva attraverso una porta collocata sul lato Sud ma non rimangono tracce della scala. All\u2019interno mensoloni angolari in pietra, supportavano i piani pavimentali in legno. Lo scavo all\u2019interno della Torre, condotto negli anni \u201980 dalla Soprintendenza Archeologica, ha riportato alla luce materiale ceramico, punte di freccia, frammenti di vetro e una spada, esposti in una sala della Mostra Permanente Guerrieri e Artigiani a Pomarance.
Una scalinata in pietra conduce nel fabbricato A<\/strong>, probabilmente riservato al capo della guarnigione, e dotato delle comodit\u00e0 indispensabili alla vita quotidiana. Ai lati dell\u2019ingresso sono conservati gli alloggiamenti per le sbarre che la bloccavano dall\u2019interno.
Nel fabbricato B<\/strong>, sono visibili alcune \u2018feritoie per arciere\u2019 e un \u2018necessario\u2019 riutilizzato come \u2018armadio\u2019. L\u2019edificio \u00e8 suddiviso in tre ambienti, collocati a diversi livelli che presentano ancora resti delle pavimentazioni originarie in cotto.
Il fabbricato C<\/strong> \u00e8 solo parzialmente conservato per il crollo di gran parte della volta. Il grande ambiente, con volte a botte, era suddiviso in tre unit\u00e0. Al suo interno, sono visibili i resti di un grande forno per alimenti, un\u2019arciera, una nicchia con un condotto di scarico verso l\u2019esterno e quanto rimane di un grande caminetto. Negli edifici B e C l\u2019accesso ai piani superiori avveniva attraverso una scalinata a pi\u00f9 rampe realizzata in parte in muratura e in parte in materiale deperibile. I piani superiori non si sono conservati.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.0.48″ background_size=”initial”

Among the many monuments and settlements that dominate the undulating hills of the Cecina Valley, the Rocca Sillana castle is one of the most significant.<\/p>\n
The hamlet of Sillano dates back to Etruscan times, as witnessed by various archaeological finds. The settlement of Sillano was first mentioned in a document from the 10th century written by the bishop of Volterra, and the fortified settlement in 1067 in a document recording the sale of lands. Probably the guard tower \u2013 now inserted into the structure of the fortress \u2013 dates back to this period. <\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion closed_toggle_text_color=”#e14b28″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” icon_color=”#e14b28″ admin_label=”Accordion – TESTO APPROFONDIMENTO” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ body_font=”Roboto||||||||” toggle_font=”Roboto||||||||” border_color_all=”#e14b28″ locked=”off”][et_pb_accordion_item title=”READ MORE” open=”on” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ title_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” text_orientation=”center”]\n
THE HISTORY<\/strong><\/p>\nOver the centuries, the Sillano stronghold underwent several changes of ownership.
In 1221, it was included in the jurisdiction of Volterra, and in the 14th century it became part of the feud of the Petroni family.
On 26th April 1386, the stronghold was occupied by Martino Magli from Casole d\u2019Elsa, and afterwards it was purchased by the Signoria of Florence.
On 11th November 1406 with the surrender of Pisa, the Florentines gave the stronghold to Andrea Messer Gherardo Gambacorti from Pisa, as a reward for the services he rendered. Since then, the fortress has been under the jurisdiction of Florence.
In the 16th century the period of decline began. A letter of 1527 by the Capitano of Volterra to the Florentines reveals that the fortress at the time was uncontrollable, having become a refuge for bandits and criminals.
In the second half of the 18th century, the village of Sillano passed to the Municipality of Montecastelli that subsequently, in 1788, was unified to that of Castelnuovo<\/strong><\/a>. With a resolution of 9th July 1873, the village of Sillano passed in exchange from the town of Castelnuovo to Pomarance<\/strong><\/a>. In 1850, the stronghold was inhabited by the Acciai family who were forced to abandon it due to continuous \u2018thefts\u2019. In the late 1980s, the fortress was donated to Pomarance by the Paladini family.<\/p>\nTHE ROCCA<\/strong><\/p>\nA 360\u00b0 view from the fortress overlooks most of Tuscany. The current appearance is the result of multiple renovations made over the centuries, to adapt the original stronghold (11th and 12th centuries) to the evolution of military technology, culminating with the introduction of firearms in the 15th century. In that period the imposing polygonal perimeter walls, with corner turrets, were built. Around the fortress, there is a fortified village, whose walls still show the remains of the two main entrances: Porta Volterrana and Porta San Rocco, with numerous remains of houses near Porta San Rocco. Inside the fortress is a mighty guard tower and three large buildings leaning on the walls that overlook a courtyard.
To the left of the entrance, the square tower assimilated into the building<\/strong> to the north (A<\/strong>) stands, this is the oldest building coming from the original medieval stronghold (11th-12th century). Access to the tower was through a door located on the south side but there is no longer trace of the flight of steps. Inside angular stone corbels supported the wooden floors. The excavation carried out by the Archaeological Superintendence inside the Tower in the 1980s has unearthed pottery, arrowheads, fragments of glass and a sword, now displayed in a hall of the

Il Castello si trova su di una collinetta di 231 metri di altezza alla confluenza fra il Torrente Sellate ed il Botro al Rio all\u2019interno dell\u2019attuale foresta di Berignone.
\nFu fondato nel medioevo da parte dei vescovi di Volterra che ne rimasero i proprietari per secoli. E’ conosciuto fin dal 990 quando si trovava al centro di un\u2019area intensamente popolata. Fu a lungo un centro importante per il controllo del territorio ed anche una residenza dei vescovi volterrani.<\/p>\n
Nel XIII secolo fu anche sede della zecca del vescovo di Volterra, che vi batteva moneta con l\u2019argento delle miniere vescovili di Montieri.
\nNel Trecento entr\u00f2 sotto il controllo del comune di Volterra. Oggi rimane in piedi solo parte della torre e pochi frammenti delle mura, intorno si notano le tracce del borgo, quasi scomparse all\u2019interno del bosco.<\/p>\n
Nel 1218 fu distrutto una prima volta dai soldati del comune di Volterra, ma venne subito ricostruito; nel 1235 vi fu assediato dalle truppe volterrane il vescovo Pagano Pannocchieschi ed uguale sorte tocc\u00f2 nel 1267 al vescovo Alberto degli Scolari.
\nIl castello \u00e8 costituito da un nucleo fortificato, il cassero, composto da una torre, che \u00e8 l\u2019unico edificio rimasto in parte in piedi, e da altre strutture in muratura; dalle aperture sopravvissute possiamo intuire che la torre doveva avere almeno tre piani oltre al pianterreno. Sotto al pianterreno vi \u00e8 una stanza interrata che doveva essere una cantina o un deposito. Una cinta muraria proteggeva questa zona del castello.<\/p>\n
Al di l\u00e0 di queste mura si estendeva il borgo, composto da numerosi edifici di cui si possono oggi leggere le tracce sul terreno; non conosciamo con precisione l\u2019estensione dell\u2019abitato a causa del bosco che ha occupato quest\u2019area. Non \u00e8 possibile nemmeno determinare se il borgo avesse una cinta muraria di difesa.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion closed_toggle_text_color=”#e14b28″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” admin_label=”Accordion SCARICA GUIDE” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ body_font=”Roboto||||||||” body_text_align=”center” toggle_font=”Roboto||||||||” border_color_all=”#e14b28″ locked=”off”][et_pb_accordion_item title=”DOWNLOAD THE BERIGNONE NATURE RESERVE GUIDE” open=”on” icon_color=”#e14b28″ _builder_version=”3.21.1″ title_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” text_orientation=”center”]\n

Il castello \u2013 posto nel piccolo borgo di Querceto \u2013 oggi sede di un\u2019azienda vinicola, \u00e8 un bell\u2019esempio del sistema militare presente in tutta la Valdicecina: zona di passaggio, sintesi tra la Toscana interna e quella marittima, la valle \u00e8 ancora oggi punteggiata da antiche rocche che, nel medioevo, servivano da difesa per questi luoghi strategici.
\nIl castello di Querceto \u00e8 documentato fin dal XI secolo, come appartenente alla diocesi di Massa Marittima che poi lo cedette al monastero di Monteverdi. Nel 1208 questi cedette il territorio di Querceto al comune di Volterra<\/a> e da allora i suoi abitanti furono cittadini volterrani.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion closed_toggle_text_color=”#e14b28″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” icon_color=”#e14b28″ admin_label=”Accordion – TESTO LEGGI DI PI\u00d9” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ body_font=”Roboto||||||||” body_text_align=”center” toggle_font=”Roboto||||||||” border_color_all=”#e14b28″][et_pb_accordion_item title=”LEGGI DI PI\u00d9” open=”on” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ title_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” text_orientation=”center”]\nLa prima attestazione di Querceto \u00e8 contenuta in un documento datato al 1082 nel quale si cita la localit\u00e0 come villa. Il centro assurse ben presto al rango di castello come lascia chiaramente intendere la menzione di Querceto in un documento databile al 1118.
Lasciando l\u2019automobile al parcheggio all\u2019ingresso del borgo, \u00e8 possibile incamminarsi lungo il piccolo viale che conduce alla piazzetta sulla quale si affaccia la Pieve di San Giovanni Battista<\/a>.
La storia di Querceto, infatti, \u00e8 strettamente legata a quella della famiglia Ginori-Lisci, dalla quale prende il nome anche il castello attorno al quale si sviluppa tutto l\u2019abitato.
Il castello attualmente visibile \u00e8 stato edificato agli inizi del Novecento, per opera del conte Lorenzo Ginori il quale nel 1907 decise di ricostruire una dimora per la propria famiglia laddove si supponeva sorgesse la residenza signorile medievale. La costruzione \u00e8 assai imponente ed \u00e8 costituita da pi\u00f9 corpi uniti tra loro.
Emergono tra tutti la torre centrale, che termina con un ballatoio sorretto da beccatelli e coronato da merli \u201cguelfi\u201d ovvero a muratura piena (quelli ghibellini sono invece a coda di rondine rovesciata), e la facciata del primo ambiente del castello, quello che si vede non appena ci si incammina per le strette vie del centro.
Durante i mesi primaverili ed estivi la facciata \u00e8 completamente coperta da una pianta di vite americana che la caratterizza, rendendola assolutamente inconfondibile.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][et_pb_button button_url=”\/download\/montecatini-e-il-suo-territorio-guida\/?wpdmdl=43860&masterkey=5bafac1ac1568″ url_new_window=”on”

Leaving the car in the car park at the entrance to the medieval village, follow the little avenue that leads to the square where the parish church, St John the Baptist<\/a>, is to be found.
The history of Querceto is tied to that of the Ginori-Lisci family, after whom the castle, around which the village grew, is named.
The castle as it is today was built at the beginning of the 20th century, by Count Lorenzo who decided in 1907 to build a family home where it was assumed the medieval residence had been.
The building is palatial and includes several parts joined together. Topping the building is the central tower, garnished with a balcony on-brackets crowned with Guelph merlons (the Ghibelline are overturned swallow-tails), which comes to view on entering the medieval village.
In the spring and summer the walls are completely covered by an unmistakable Virginia creeper.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button

Il profilo di Volterra e della Valdicecina \u00e8 caratterizzato, anche da lontano, dalle linee austere e nobili della rocca, voluta dai Medici non tanto per proteggere la citt\u00e0 ed il territorio, ma per soggiogare l\u2019orgoglioso antico comune, scoraggiando ogni rivolta. <\/p>\n
La Fortezza fu costruita nel 1474 \u2013 sulle vestigia di fortificazioni pi\u00f9 antiche – esattamente due anni dopo che la citt\u00e0 di Firenze aveva conquistato la citt\u00e0 dopo un\u2019aspra guerra per il controllo delle miniere di allume, un importante minerale usato nella lavorazione dei tessuti. Oggi la rocca ospita un penitenziario.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.0.47″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” locked=”off”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″][et_pb_button button_url=”\/cosa-fare\/arte-e-cultura\/i-musei\/gli-orari-dei-musei\/” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”ORARI DI VISITA E BIGLIETTI” button_alignment=”right” admin_label=”Pulsante – orari e biglietti museo” _builder_version=”3.18.4″ custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#e14b28″ button_icon=”%%20%%” button_icon_color=”#ffffff” background_layout=”dark” button_text_color_hover=”#ffffff” saved_tabs=”all” button_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”on” button_text_color__hover=”#ffffff” button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″][et_pb_button button_url=”\/?wpdmpro=la-fortezza-medicea-di-volterra-guida&wpdmdl=43873&masterkey=5bafafd2668ad” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”SCARICA LA GUIDA ALLA FORTEZZA” button_alignment=”left” admin_label=”Pulsante – scarica la guida ai musei” _builder_version=”3.20.2″ custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#e14b28″ button_icon=”%%20%%” button_icon_color=”#ffffff” background_layout=”dark” button_text_color_hover=”#ffffff” saved_tabs=”all” button_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”on” button_text_color__hover=”#ffffff” button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.3.1″ custom_padding=”3px|0px|2px|0px|false|false”][et_pb_row use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”2″ custom_padding=”27px|0px|4px|0px|false|false” _builder_version=”3.3.1″ module_alignment=”center”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″][et_pb_gallery gallery_ids=”42951,42953,44735,44737,44733,44743,44741,44739,44745,44747,44749,44757,44755,44753,44751″ posts_number=”15″ show_title_and_caption=”off” show_pagination=”off” zoom_icon_color=”#e14b28″ hover_overlay_color=”rgba(102,102,102,0.53)” _builder_version=”3.17.2″ custom_css_gallery_item=”margin: 5px !important;||clear: none !important;||width: 32% !important;”][\/et_pb_gallery][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.11.1″ custom_padding=”75px|0px|0px|0px” locked=”off”][et_pb_row custom_padding=”7px|0px|0|0px” _builder_version=”3.0.47″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Sottotitolo ” _builder_version=”3.18.4″]\n

La Fortezza non era destinata soltanto a proteggere la citt\u00e0, ma soprattutto a tenerla sotto controllo e impedire ribellioni. Una parte di essa \u2013 il settore pi\u00f9 a Est \u2013 esisteva gi\u00e0 prima del 1474, e costituiva il castello pi\u00f9 antico, il Cassero<\/strong>.
\nQuesta struttura, che ampliava le difese della citt\u00e0, era destinata a proteggere la zona intorno alla Porta a Selci<\/strong> e fu completata nel 1292.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Intorno al 1343 Gualtieri di Brienne, Duca di Atene e signore di Firenze, prese il controllo del Cassero e costru\u00ec una nuova torre, dall\u2019altro lato dell\u2019antica Porta a Selci. La torre venne poi unita al Cassero andando a costituire una struttura unica protetta da mura di cinta e fossati.<\/p>\n
Nel 1430 si dette inizio alla costruzione dello sperone che ancora oggi si trova all\u2019estremit\u00e0 est della Fortezza e che da allora venne definito \u201cla scarpa\u201d, che fu terminato pochi anni dopo, nel 1432. Il termine deriva dalla sua forma, infatti le pareti presentano una pendenza accentuata nella parte inferiore destinata alla difesa contro i colpi dell\u2019artiglieria.

Le torri e le mura presentano la scarpa e un camminamento sostenuto da beccatelli sporgenti verso l\u2019esterno, che erano destinati alla difesa \u201cpiombante\u201d, cio\u00e8 destinata al lancio dall\u2019alto di pietre ed altro materiale contro gli attaccanti.

Il profilo di Volterra e della Valdicecina \u00e8 caratterizzato, anche da lontano, dalle linee austere e nobili della rocca, voluta dai Medici non tanto per proteggere la citt\u00e0 ed il territorio, ma per soggiogare l\u2019orgoglioso antico comune, scoraggiando ogni rivolta. <\/p>\n
La Fortezza fu costruita nel 1474 \u2013 sulle vestigia di fortificazioni pi\u00f9 antiche – esattamente due anni dopo che la citt\u00e0 di Firenze aveva conquistato la citt\u00e0 dopo un\u2019aspra guerra per il controllo delle miniere di allume, un importante minerale usato nella lavorazione dei tessuti.

From its commanding hilltop position the enormous Medici Fortress looks out over Volterra and the surrounding countryside. This massive building is visible from miles away and characterizes the skyline of the hill upon which the city lies.
The Fortress was built in 1474, exactly two years after Florence conquered the city of Volterra<\/a> following a fierce battle over the control of nearby alum mines, an important mineral used in the production of textiles.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The Fortress was intended not only to protect the city, but primarily to keep the city under tight control and to prevent revolts against the new masters of the city. A part of the fortress \u2013 the easternmost part \u2013 was already standing before 1474 and was an ancient castle called the Cassero<\/strong>.<\/p>\nThe construction of this section was completed in 1292 and was designed to augment the pre-existing defensive structures of the city and protect the area around Porta a Selci<\/strong>.<\/p>\nAround the year 1343, Gualtieri di Brienne, Duke of Athens and lord of Florence, took control of the Cassero and built a new tower on the other side of the ancient Porta a Selci. The tower was then joined to the Cassero thus creating a single structure protected by an outer ring of walls and ditches.<\/p>\n
In 1430 began the construction of the prow-shaped outer wall which still stands at the easternmost end of the fortress; this defensive innovation, which was completed in 1432, has ever since been called \u201cthe shoe\u201d.<\/p>\n
This name derives from the shape of the structure, as the walls are strongly slanted at the base to better protect against artillery attacks. All of the eastern section \u2013 the oldest part \u2013 is now called the Rocca Vecchia (\u201cold castle\u201d) or Femmina (\u201cfemale\u201d)<\/strong>, while the new part, built entirely in stone, consists of two parts: the Mastio<\/strong> on the western end, which is a large, isolated circular tower inside the walls, and a rectangle of curtain-walls with four, high circular towers at each corner.<\/p>\nA double curtain-wall was also built between the Mastio and the Rocca Vecchia to join the two fortifications and also created the necessary space to house a sizable garrison.
The exterior of the towers and walls consist of a wide base and a walkway supported by protruding corbels which served a defensive function, or rather were used to launch stones and other materials onto approaching enemies. This walkway was also built onto the older sections and thus the entire perimeter today appears homogeneous.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”3.3.1″ custom_padding=”57px|0px|0px|0px|false|false”][et_pb_fullwidth_slider show_arrows=”off” show_pagination=”off” admin_label=”slider-pagina_interna – immagine con link” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ header_font=”Roboto|500|||||||” header_font_size_tablet=”39px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#ffffff” button_border_color=”#ffffff” button_font=”||||||||” button_icon_color=”#ffffff” custom_padding=”250px||250px|” button_bg_color_hover=”#e14b28″ saved_tabs=”all” button_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_size__hover=”null” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_size__hover=”null” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover=”null” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_color__hover=”null” button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_color__hover=”null” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover=”null” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_width__hover=”null” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover=”null” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover=”null” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_color__hover=”null” button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_color__hover=”null” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover=”null” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_radius__hover=”null” button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_radius__hover=”null” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover=”null” button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”on” button_bg_color__hover=”#e14b28″ button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_bg_color__hover=”null” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover=”null”][et_pb_slide heading=”The convict dinners<\/span>” button_text=”SCOPRI DI PI\u00d9” button_link=”\/?page_id=56772″ use_bg_overlay=”off” use_text_overlay=”off” admin_title=”Immagine linkata ” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ header_font=”||||||||” background_color=”#ffffff” background_image=”http:\/\/volterratur.softhrod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/header-cene-galeotte.jpg” button_on_hover=”on” button_alignment=”center” button_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off”]\nLa ricercatezza della cucina stellata, un progetto di reinserimento dopo il carcere, la bella cornice della rocca medicea: questi gli ingredienti delle cene, esperienza unica nel cuore della citt\u00e0.<\/h2>\n[\/et_pb_slide][\/et_pb_fullwidth_slider][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ custom_padding=”14px|0px|39px|0px” global_module=”47922″][et_pb_row custom_padding=”40px|0px|0px|0px” _builder_version=”3.0.106″ module_alignment=”center”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/volterratur.softhrod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/footer-logo-grey.jpg” align=”center” admin_label=”logo Footer” _builder_version=”3.0.106″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Menu Pagine Custom” _builder_version=”3.20.2″ text_font=”Roboto||||||||” text_text_color=”#666666″ text_font_size=”12px” text_orientation=”center”]\n

Proprio in virt\u00f9 di tali caratteristiche naturali (che ne garantivano dunque una facile difendibilit\u00e0 da ogni versante, rendendo la spianata sommitale praticamente inespugnabile), questo piccolo rilievo (458 m.) divenne sede di un insediamento fortificato a controllo delle vie di transito provenienti dal territorio senese e dalla Val d\u2019Era.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion closed_toggle_text_color=”#e14b28″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” icon_color=”#e14b28″ admin_label=”Accordion – TESTO LEGGI DI PI\u00d9” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ body_font=”Roboto||||||||” body_text_align=”center” toggle_font=”Roboto||||||||” border_color_all=”#e14b28″][et_pb_accordion_item title=”LEGGI DI PI\u00d9” open=”on” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ title_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” text_orientation=”center”]\n
Le prime notizie su questa fortificazione risalgono al 967 attestandone la propriet\u00e0 al vescovo di Volterra, che vi esercit\u00f2 la propria signoria fino alla prima met\u00e0 del XIII secolo quando il castello divenne oggetto di vertenze e di contese col comune di Volterra che lo assal\u00ec nel 1218 e che, dopo alterne e prolungate vicende belliche, fin\u00ec per ridurlo sotto il proprio dominio (1252). Conquistata dai fiorentini nel XIV secolo, la rocca fu quindi restituita ai volterrani, che ne reclamavano la propriet\u00e0, a condizione che fosse smantellata; assalita nuovamente dai volterrani nel 1427 fu infine danneggiata irrimediabilmente nel 1433 dalle masnade al seguito di Niccol\u00f2 Piccinino.<\/p>\n
Oggi rimangono solo pochi resti visibili, parti di torri, della cinta muraria, della pieve e delle abitazioni. Gli edifici pi\u00f9 importanti si trovavano sulla sommit\u00e0 della collina, mentre la pieve ed il borgo, a loro volta circondati da una cinta muraria, erano sulle pendici.<\/p>\n
Nella prima met\u00e0 del Duecento, quando il territorio del comune di Volterra contava circa 7.000 abitanti, la rocca e il borgo di Monte Voltraio ospitavano circa 1.000 persone: una prova ulteriore del ruolo rilevante svolto da questo insediamento nell\u2019organizzazione e nel controllo di una zona strategica del territorio volteranno durante il Medioevo.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.3.1″ custom_padding=”0|0px|3px|0px|false|false” locked=”off”][et_pb_row custom_padding=”57px|0px|27px|0px|false|false” _builder_version=”3.0.47″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Titolo sezione – suggerimenti e approfondimenti” _builder_version=”3.20.2″]\n

Fra i tanti monumenti e centri abitati che occupano le sommit\u00e0 delle colline della Valdicecina il castello di Rocca Sillana \u00e8 uno dei pi\u00f9 significativi ed era uno dei maggiori insediamenti della zona, aperto al pubblico da pochi anni.<\/p>\n
Sorge isolato su un\u2019altura impervia e circondata da una fitta boscaglia, ma in realt\u00e0 \u00e8 un sito ricco di storia, che fu densamente abitato durante il medioevo e che controllava un territorio molto vasto.<\/p>\n
Secondo la tradizione, il nome di questo castello deriva da quello del generale romano Silla che assedi\u00f2 Volterra nell\u201880 a. C. In realt\u00e0 il nome di Rocca Sillana \u00e8 piuttosto recente, essendo nota fino alla met\u00e0 del Settecento con il nome di castello o rocca di Sillano, termine che \u00e8 testimoniato per la prima volta in un documento del 945.<\/p>\n
Invece \u00e8 molto probabile che il termine sillano sia semplicemente una trasformazione di Silvanus “boscoso” e del resto nel medioevo questa era una zona molto ricca di boschi.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion closed_toggle_text_color=”#e14b28″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” icon_color=”#e14b28″ admin_label=”Accordion – TESTO APPROFONDIMENTO” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ body_font=”Roboto||||||||” toggle_font=”Roboto||||||||” border_color_all=”#e14b28″ locked=”off”][et_pb_accordion_item title=”LEGGI DI PI\u00d9” open=”on” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ title_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” text_orientation=”center”]\n
LA STORIA<\/strong><\/p>\nIl borgo di Sillano risale all\u2019epoca etrusca, come testimoniano vari ritrovamenti archeologici. La prima notizia dell\u2019insediamento di \u201cSillano\u201d<\/strong> compare in un documento del X secolo del vescovo di Volterra mentre la prima menzione dell\u2019insediamento fortificato si trova in un documento del 1067 relativo a una vendita di terreni. Probabilmente a questo periodo risale la torre di avvistamento, oggi inglobata nella rocca.
Nei secoli successivi la Rocca di \u201cSillano\u201d<\/strong> subisce molteplici passaggi di propriet\u00e0.
Nel 1221 entra a far parte della giurisdizione di Volterra<\/strong>; nel XIV secolo diviene feudo della famiglia Petroni di Siena. Il 26 aprile 1386 la Rocca \u00e8 occupata da Martino Magli da Casole d\u2019Elsa e successivamente viene acquistata dalla Signoria di Firenze. L\u201911 novembre 1406 i Fiorentini, con la resa di Pisa, cedono il castello ad Andrea di messer Gherardo Gambacorti di Pisa, in ricompensa di servizi resi.
Da allora la fortezza rester\u00e0 sempre sotto la giurisdizione di Firenze<\/strong>. A partire dal XVI secolo inizia la fase di decadenza. Una lettera del 1527 del Capitano di Volterra ai Fiorentini, rivela che la Rocca \u00e8 ormai sfuggita a ogni controllo diventando rifugio per banditi e delinquenti.
Nella seconda met\u00e0 del Settecento<\/strong> il borgo di Sillano passa alla Comunit\u00e0 di Montecastelli che successivamente, nel 1788, viene unificata con quella di Castelnuovo. Con una delibera del 9 luglio 1873 il Borgo di Sillano passa, attraverso un atto di permuta, dal comune di Castelnuovo a quello di Pomarance. Nel 1850 la rocca era abitata dalla famiglia Acciai che \u00e8 costretta ad abbandonarla a causa delle continue \u2018ruberie\u2019. Alla fine degli anni \u201880 del 1900 la Rocca fu donata al Comune di Pomarance, dalla Famiglia Paladini.<\/p>\nLA ROCCA<\/strong><\/p>\nDalla Rocca la vista spazia a 360\u00b0 a coprire buona parte del territorio toscano.
L\u2019aspetto attuale \u00e8 il risultato di molteplici interventi avvenuti nel corso dei secoli, per adeguare l\u2019iniziale fortilizio (XI-XII secolo), all\u2019evoluzione della tecnica militare, culminata nel XV secolo con l\u2019introduzione delle armi da fuoco. A quel periodo risale la realizzazione dell\u2019imponente cortina muraria, a pianta poligonale, dotata di torrette angolari.
Intorno alla Rocca si sviluppa il borgo fortificato<\/strong>, le cui mura conservano resti dei due ingressi principali: Porta Volterrana e Porta San Rocco<\/strong>, con numerosi resti di abitazioni nei pressi di Porta San Rocco.
L\u2019interno della Rocca appare articolato in una possente torre di avvistamento (guardingo)<\/strong> e tre grandi corpi di fabbrica addossati alle mura che si affacciano su un cortile interno.
A sinistra dell\u2019ingresso inglobata nel fabbricato a Nord (A) si erge la torre a pianta quadrata, l\u2019edificio pi\u00f9 antico dell\u2019originario impianto medievale (XI-XII secolo). L\u2019accesso alla torre avveniva attraverso una porta collocata sul lato Sud ma non rimangono tracce della scala. All\u2019interno mensoloni angolari in pietra, supportavano i piani pavimentali in legno. Lo scavo all\u2019interno della Torre, condotto negli anni \u201980 dalla Soprintendenza Archeologica, ha riportato alla luce materiale ceramico, punte di freccia, frammenti di vetro e una spada, esposti in una sala della Mostra Permanente Guerrieri e Artigiani a Pomarance.
Una scalinata in pietra conduce nel fabbricato A<\/strong>, probabilmente riservato al capo della guarnigione, e dotato delle comodit\u00e0 indispensabili alla vita quotidiana. Ai lati dell\u2019ingresso sono conservati gli alloggiamenti per le sbarre che la bloccavano dall\u2019interno.
Nel fabbricato B<\/strong>, sono visibili alcune \u2018feritoie per arciere\u2019 e un \u2018necessario\u2019 riutilizzato come \u2018armadio\u2019. L\u2019edificio \u00e8 suddiviso in tre ambienti, collocati a diversi livelli che presentano ancora resti delle pavimentazioni originarie in cotto.
Il fabbricato C<\/strong> \u00e8 solo parzialmente conservato per il crollo di gran parte della volta. Il grande ambiente, con volte a botte, era suddiviso in tre unit\u00e0. Al suo interno, sono visibili i resti di un grande forno per alimenti, un\u2019arciera, una nicchia con un condotto di scarico verso l\u2019esterno e quanto rimane di un grande caminetto. Negli edifici B e C l\u2019accesso ai piani superiori avveniva attraverso una scalinata a pi\u00f9 rampe realizzata in parte in muratura e in parte in materiale deperibile. I piani superiori non si sono conservati.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.0.48″ background_size=”initial”

Among the many monuments and settlements that dominate the undulating hills of the Cecina Valley, the Rocca Sillana castle is one of the most significant.<\/p>\n
The hamlet of Sillano dates back to Etruscan times, as witnessed by various archaeological finds. The settlement of Sillano was first mentioned in a document from the 10th century written by the bishop of Volterra, and the fortified settlement in 1067 in a document recording the sale of lands. Probably the guard tower \u2013 now inserted into the structure of the fortress \u2013 dates back to this period. <\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion closed_toggle_text_color=”#e14b28″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” icon_color=”#e14b28″ admin_label=”Accordion – TESTO APPROFONDIMENTO” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ body_font=”Roboto||||||||” toggle_font=”Roboto||||||||” border_color_all=”#e14b28″ locked=”off”][et_pb_accordion_item title=”READ MORE” open=”on” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ title_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” text_orientation=”center”]\n
THE HISTORY<\/strong><\/p>\nOver the centuries, the Sillano stronghold underwent several changes of ownership.
In 1221, it was included in the jurisdiction of Volterra, and in the 14th century it became part of the feud of the Petroni family.
On 26th April 1386, the stronghold was occupied by Martino Magli from Casole d\u2019Elsa, and afterwards it was purchased by the Signoria of Florence.
On 11th November 1406 with the surrender of Pisa, the Florentines gave the stronghold to Andrea Messer Gherardo Gambacorti from Pisa, as a reward for the services he rendered. Since then, the fortress has been under the jurisdiction of Florence.
In the 16th century the period of decline began. A letter of 1527 by the Capitano of Volterra to the Florentines reveals that the fortress at the time was uncontrollable, having become a refuge for bandits and criminals.
In the second half of the 18th century, the village of Sillano passed to the Municipality of Montecastelli that subsequently, in 1788, was unified to that of Castelnuovo<\/strong><\/a>. With a resolution of 9th July 1873, the village of Sillano passed in exchange from the town of Castelnuovo to Pomarance<\/strong><\/a>. In 1850, the stronghold was inhabited by the Acciai family who were forced to abandon it due to continuous \u2018thefts\u2019. In the late 1980s, the fortress was donated to Pomarance by the Paladini family.<\/p>\nTHE ROCCA<\/strong><\/p>\nA 360\u00b0 view from the fortress overlooks most of Tuscany. The current appearance is the result of multiple renovations made over the centuries, to adapt the original stronghold (11th and 12th centuries) to the evolution of military technology, culminating with the introduction of firearms in the 15th century. In that period the imposing polygonal perimeter walls, with corner turrets, were built. Around the fortress, there is a fortified village, whose walls still show the remains of the two main entrances: Porta Volterrana and Porta San Rocco, with numerous remains of houses near Porta San Rocco. Inside the fortress is a mighty guard tower and three large buildings leaning on the walls that overlook a courtyard.
To the left of the entrance, the square tower assimilated into the building<\/strong> to the north (A<\/strong>) stands, this is the oldest building coming from the original medieval stronghold (11th-12th century). Access to the tower was through a door located on the south side but there is no longer trace of the flight of steps. Inside angular stone corbels supported the wooden floors. The excavation carried out by the Archaeological Superintendence inside the Tower in the 1980s has unearthed pottery, arrowheads, fragments of glass and a sword, now displayed in a hall of the

Il Castello si trova su di una collinetta di 231 metri di altezza alla confluenza fra il Torrente Sellate ed il Botro al Rio all\u2019interno dell\u2019attuale foresta di Berignone.
\nFu fondato nel medioevo da parte dei vescovi di Volterra che ne rimasero i proprietari per secoli. E’ conosciuto fin dal 990 quando si trovava al centro di un\u2019area intensamente popolata. Fu a lungo un centro importante per il controllo del territorio ed anche una residenza dei vescovi volterrani.<\/p>\n
Nel XIII secolo fu anche sede della zecca del vescovo di Volterra, che vi batteva moneta con l\u2019argento delle miniere vescovili di Montieri.
\nNel Trecento entr\u00f2 sotto il controllo del comune di Volterra. Oggi rimane in piedi solo parte della torre e pochi frammenti delle mura, intorno si notano le tracce del borgo, quasi scomparse all\u2019interno del bosco.<\/p>\n
Nel 1218 fu distrutto una prima volta dai soldati del comune di Volterra, ma venne subito ricostruito; nel 1235 vi fu assediato dalle truppe volterrane il vescovo Pagano Pannocchieschi ed uguale sorte tocc\u00f2 nel 1267 al vescovo Alberto degli Scolari.
\nIl castello \u00e8 costituito da un nucleo fortificato, il cassero, composto da una torre, che \u00e8 l\u2019unico edificio rimasto in parte in piedi, e da altre strutture in muratura; dalle aperture sopravvissute possiamo intuire che la torre doveva avere almeno tre piani oltre al pianterreno. Sotto al pianterreno vi \u00e8 una stanza interrata che doveva essere una cantina o un deposito. Una cinta muraria proteggeva questa zona del castello.<\/p>\n
Al di l\u00e0 di queste mura si estendeva il borgo, composto da numerosi edifici di cui si possono oggi leggere le tracce sul terreno; non conosciamo con precisione l\u2019estensione dell\u2019abitato a causa del bosco che ha occupato quest\u2019area. Non \u00e8 possibile nemmeno determinare se il borgo avesse una cinta muraria di difesa.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion closed_toggle_text_color=”#e14b28″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” admin_label=”Accordion SCARICA GUIDE” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ body_font=”Roboto||||||||” body_text_align=”center” toggle_font=”Roboto||||||||” border_color_all=”#e14b28″ locked=”off”][et_pb_accordion_item title=”DOWNLOAD THE BERIGNONE NATURE RESERVE GUIDE” open=”on” icon_color=”#e14b28″ _builder_version=”3.21.1″ title_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” text_orientation=”center”]\n

Il castello \u2013 posto nel piccolo borgo di Querceto \u2013 oggi sede di un\u2019azienda vinicola, \u00e8 un bell\u2019esempio del sistema militare presente in tutta la Valdicecina: zona di passaggio, sintesi tra la Toscana interna e quella marittima, la valle \u00e8 ancora oggi punteggiata da antiche rocche che, nel medioevo, servivano da difesa per questi luoghi strategici.
\nIl castello di Querceto \u00e8 documentato fin dal XI secolo, come appartenente alla diocesi di Massa Marittima che poi lo cedette al monastero di Monteverdi. Nel 1208 questi cedette il territorio di Querceto al comune di Volterra<\/a> e da allora i suoi abitanti furono cittadini volterrani.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion closed_toggle_text_color=”#e14b28″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” icon_color=”#e14b28″ admin_label=”Accordion – TESTO LEGGI DI PI\u00d9” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ body_font=”Roboto||||||||” body_text_align=”center” toggle_font=”Roboto||||||||” border_color_all=”#e14b28″][et_pb_accordion_item title=”LEGGI DI PI\u00d9” open=”on” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ title_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” text_orientation=”center”]\nLa prima attestazione di Querceto \u00e8 contenuta in un documento datato al 1082 nel quale si cita la localit\u00e0 come villa. Il centro assurse ben presto al rango di castello come lascia chiaramente intendere la menzione di Querceto in un documento databile al 1118.
Lasciando l\u2019automobile al parcheggio all\u2019ingresso del borgo, \u00e8 possibile incamminarsi lungo il piccolo viale che conduce alla piazzetta sulla quale si affaccia la Pieve di San Giovanni Battista<\/a>.
La storia di Querceto, infatti, \u00e8 strettamente legata a quella della famiglia Ginori-Lisci, dalla quale prende il nome anche il castello attorno al quale si sviluppa tutto l\u2019abitato.
Il castello attualmente visibile \u00e8 stato edificato agli inizi del Novecento, per opera del conte Lorenzo Ginori il quale nel 1907 decise di ricostruire una dimora per la propria famiglia laddove si supponeva sorgesse la residenza signorile medievale. La costruzione \u00e8 assai imponente ed \u00e8 costituita da pi\u00f9 corpi uniti tra loro.
Emergono tra tutti la torre centrale, che termina con un ballatoio sorretto da beccatelli e coronato da merli \u201cguelfi\u201d ovvero a muratura piena (quelli ghibellini sono invece a coda di rondine rovesciata), e la facciata del primo ambiente del castello, quello che si vede non appena ci si incammina per le strette vie del centro.
Durante i mesi primaverili ed estivi la facciata \u00e8 completamente coperta da una pianta di vite americana che la caratterizza, rendendola assolutamente inconfondibile.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][et_pb_button button_url=”\/download\/montecatini-e-il-suo-territorio-guida\/?wpdmdl=43860&masterkey=5bafac1ac1568″ url_new_window=”on”

The first mention of Querceto comes in a document dating to 1082 which classifies the locality as a villa. The centre though soon became a castle as mentioned in a document of 1118.
Leaving the car in the car park at the entrance to the medieval village, follow the little avenue that leads to the square where the parish church, St John the Baptist<\/a>, is to be found.
The history of Querceto is tied to that of the Ginori-Lisci family, after whom the castle, around which the village grew, is named.
The castle as it is today was built at the beginning of the 20th century, by Count Lorenzo who decided in 1907 to build a family home where it was assumed the medieval residence had been.
The building is palatial and includes several parts joined together. Topping the building is the central tower, garnished with a balcony on-brackets crowned with Guelph merlons (the Ghibelline are overturned swallow-tails), which comes to view on entering the medieval village.
In the spring and summer the walls are completely covered by an unmistakable Virginia creeper.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button

La Fortezza non era destinata soltanto a proteggere la citt\u00e0, ma soprattutto a tenerla sotto controllo e impedire ribellioni. Una parte di essa \u2013 il settore pi\u00f9 a Est \u2013 esisteva gi\u00e0 prima del 1474, e costituiva il castello pi\u00f9 antico, il Cassero<\/strong>.
\nQuesta struttura, che ampliava le difese della citt\u00e0, era destinata a proteggere la zona intorno alla Porta a Selci<\/strong> e fu completata nel 1292.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Intorno al 1343 Gualtieri di Brienne, Duca di Atene e signore di Firenze, prese il controllo del Cassero e costru\u00ec una nuova torre, dall\u2019altro lato dell\u2019antica Porta a Selci. La torre venne poi unita al Cassero andando a costituire una struttura unica protetta da mura di cinta e fossati.<\/p>\n
Nel 1430 si dette inizio alla costruzione dello sperone che ancora oggi si trova all\u2019estremit\u00e0 est della Fortezza e che da allora venne definito \u201cla scarpa\u201d, che fu terminato pochi anni dopo, nel 1432. Il termine deriva dalla sua forma, infatti le pareti presentano una pendenza accentuata nella parte inferiore destinata alla difesa contro i colpi dell\u2019artiglieria.
Tutto il settore est \u2013 quello pi\u00f9 antico \u2013 \u00e8 adesso chiamato \u201cRocca Vecchia<\/strong>\u201d o \u201cFemmina<\/strong>\u201c, mentre la parte nuova, interamente realizzata in pietra, \u00e8 composta da due parti: il \u201cMastio<\/strong>\u201d costruito all\u2019estremit\u00e0 ovest, che \u00e8 formato da una grande torre circolare isolata all\u2019interno e da una cortina muraria a pianta quadrata ai cui angoli sono collocate quattro alte torri circolari.<\/p>\nFra il Mastio e la Rocca Vecchia fu costruita anche una doppia cortina che univa le due rocche e che consentiva al tempo stesso di ricoverare una consistente guarnigione.
Le torri e le mura presentano la scarpa e un camminamento sostenuto da beccatelli sporgenti verso l\u2019esterno, che erano destinati alla difesa \u201cpiombante\u201d, cio\u00e8 destinata al lancio dall\u2019alto di pietre ed altro materiale contro gli attaccanti. Questo camminamento fu costruito anche nelle parti pi\u00f9 antiche e cos\u00ec l\u2019intero perimetro risulta oggi omogeneo.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”3.3.1″ custom_padding=”57px|0px|0px|0px|false|false”][et_pb_fullwidth_slider show_arrows=”off” show_pagination=”off” admin_label=”slider-pagina_interna – immagine con link” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ header_font=”Roboto|500|||||||” header_font_size_tablet=”39px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#ffffff” button_border_color=”#ffffff” button_font=”||||||||” button_icon_color=”#ffffff” custom_padding=”250px||250px|” button_bg_color_hover=”#e14b28″ saved_tabs=”all” button_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_size__hover=”null” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_size__hover=”null” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover=”null” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_color__hover=”null” button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_color__hover=”null” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover=”null” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_width__hover=”null” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover=”null” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover=”null” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_color__hover=”null” button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_color__hover=”null” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover=”null” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_radius__hover=”null” button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_radius__hover=”null” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover=”null” button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”on” button_bg_color__hover=”#e14b28″ button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_bg_color__hover=”null” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover=”null”][et_pb_slide heading=”Le cene galeotte<\/span>” button_text=”SCOPRI DI PI\u00d9” button_link=”\/?page_id=41456″ use_bg_overlay=”off” use_text_overlay=”off” admin_title=”Immagine linkata ” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ header_font=”||||||||” background_color=”#ffffff” background_image=”http:\/\/volterratur.softhrod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/header-cene-galeotte.jpg” button_on_hover=”on” button_alignment=”center” button_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off”]\nLa ricercatezza della cucina stellata, un progetto di reinserimento dopo il carcere, la bella cornice della rocca medicea: questi gli ingredienti delle cene, esperienza unica nel cuore della citt\u00e0.<\/h2>\n[\/et_pb_slide][\/et_pb_fullwidth_slider][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.12.2″ custom_padding=”14px|0px|39px|0px” global_module=”43547″ locked=”off”][et_pb_row custom_padding=”40px|0px|0px|0px” _builder_version=”3.0.106″ module_alignment=”center”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/volterratur.softhrod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/footer-logo-grey.jpg” align=”center” admin_label=”logo Footer” _builder_version=”3.0.106″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Menu Pagine Custom” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ text_font=”Roboto||||||||” text_text_color=”#666666″ text_font_size=”12px” text_orientation=”center”]\n

From its commanding hilltop position the enormous Medici Fortress looks out over Volterra and the surrounding countryside. This massive building is visible from miles away and characterizes the skyline of the hill upon which the city lies.
The Fortress was built in 1474, exactly two years after Florence conquered the city of Volterra<\/a> following a fierce battle over the control of nearby alum mines, an important mineral used in the production of textiles.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The Fortress was intended not only to protect the city, but primarily to keep the city under tight control and to prevent revolts against the new masters of the city. A part of the fortress \u2013 the easternmost part \u2013 was already standing before 1474 and was an ancient castle called the Cassero<\/strong>.<\/p>\nThe construction of this section was completed in 1292 and was designed to augment the pre-existing defensive structures of the city and protect the area around Porta a Selci<\/strong>.<\/p>\nAround the year 1343, Gualtieri di Brienne, Duke of Athens and lord of Florence, took control of the Cassero and built a new tower on the other side of the ancient Porta a Selci. The tower was then joined to the Cassero thus creating a single structure protected by an outer ring of walls and ditches.<\/p>\n
In 1430 began the construction of the prow-shaped outer wall which still stands at the easternmost end of the fortress; this defensive innovation, which was completed in 1432, has ever since been called \u201cthe shoe\u201d.<\/p>\n
This name derives from the shape of the structure, as the walls are strongly slanted at the base to better protect against artillery attacks. All of the eastern section \u2013 the oldest part \u2013 is now called the Rocca Vecchia (\u201cold castle\u201d) or Femmina (\u201cfemale\u201d)<\/strong>, while the new part, built entirely in stone, consists of two parts: the Mastio<\/strong> on the western end, which is a large, isolated circular tower inside the walls, and a rectangle of curtain-walls with four, high circular towers at each corner.<\/p>\nA double curtain-wall was also built between the Mastio and the Rocca Vecchia to join the two fortifications and also created the necessary space to house a sizable garrison.
The exterior of the towers and walls consist of a wide base and a walkway supported by protruding corbels which served a defensive function, or rather were used to launch stones and other materials onto approaching enemies. This walkway was also built onto the older sections and thus the entire perimeter today appears homogeneous.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”3.3.1″ custom_padding=”57px|0px|0px|0px|false|false”][et_pb_fullwidth_slider show_arrows=”off” show_pagination=”off” admin_label=”slider-pagina_interna – immagine con link” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ header_font=”Roboto|500|||||||” header_font_size_tablet=”39px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#ffffff” button_border_color=”#ffffff” button_font=”||||||||” button_icon_color=”#ffffff” custom_padding=”250px||250px|” button_bg_color_hover=”#e14b28″ saved_tabs=”all” button_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_size__hover=”null” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_size__hover=”null” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover=”null” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_color__hover=”null” button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_color__hover=”null” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover=”null” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_width__hover=”null” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover=”null” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover=”null” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_color__hover=”null” button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_color__hover=”null” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover=”null” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_radius__hover=”null” button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_radius__hover=”null” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover=”null” button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”on” button_bg_color__hover=”#e14b28″ button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_bg_color__hover=”null” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover=”null”][et_pb_slide heading=”The convict dinners<\/span>” button_text=”SCOPRI DI PI\u00d9” button_link=”\/?page_id=56772″ use_bg_overlay=”off” use_text_overlay=”off” admin_title=”Immagine linkata ” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ header_font=”||||||||” background_color=”#ffffff” background_image=”http:\/\/volterratur.softhrod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/header-cene-galeotte.jpg” button_on_hover=”on” button_alignment=”center” button_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off”]\nLa ricercatezza della cucina stellata, un progetto di reinserimento dopo il carcere, la bella cornice della rocca medicea: questi gli ingredienti delle cene, esperienza unica nel cuore della citt\u00e0.<\/h2>\n[\/et_pb_slide][\/et_pb_fullwidth_slider][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ custom_padding=”14px|0px|39px|0px” global_module=”47922″][et_pb_row custom_padding=”40px|0px|0px|0px” _builder_version=”3.0.106″ module_alignment=”center”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/volterratur.softhrod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/footer-logo-grey.jpg” align=”center” admin_label=”logo Footer” _builder_version=”3.0.106″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Menu Pagine Custom” _builder_version=”3.20.2″ text_font=”Roboto||||||||” text_text_color=”#666666″ text_font_size=”12px” text_orientation=”center”]\n

Situato a 3 km ad Est di Volterra, il Monte Voltraio emerge e si differenzia dal paesaggio argilloso circostante col suo inconfondibile profilo pressoch\u00e9 piramidale dovuto alla sua costituzione geologica in sabbie e calcari arenacei che danno luogo, sul lato pi\u00f9 orientale del rilievo, ad una vera e propria scarpata rocciosa verticale. Proprio in virt\u00f9 di tali caratteristiche naturali (che ne garantivano dunque una facile difendibilit\u00e0 da ogni versante, rendendo la spianata sommitale praticamente inespugnabile), questo piccolo rilievo (458 m.) divenne sede di un insediamento fortificato a controllo delle vie di transito provenienti dal territorio senese e dalla Val d\u2019Era.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion closed_toggle_text_color=”#e14b28″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” icon_color=”#e14b28″ admin_label=”Accordion – TESTO LEGGI DI PI\u00d9” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ body_font=”Roboto||||||||” body_text_align=”center” toggle_font=”Roboto||||||||” border_color_all=”#e14b28″][et_pb_accordion_item title=”LEGGI DI PI\u00d9” open=”on” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ title_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” text_orientation=”center”]\n
Le prime notizie su questa fortificazione risalgono al 967 attestandone la propriet\u00e0 al vescovo di Volterra, che vi esercit\u00f2 la propria signoria fino alla prima met\u00e0 del XIII secolo quando il castello divenne oggetto di vertenze e di contese col comune di Volterra che lo assal\u00ec nel 1218 e che, dopo alterne e prolungate vicende belliche, fin\u00ec per ridurlo sotto il proprio dominio (1252). Conquistata dai fiorentini nel XIV secolo, la rocca fu quindi restituita ai volterrani, che ne reclamavano la propriet\u00e0, a condizione che fosse smantellata; assalita nuovamente dai volterrani nel 1427 fu infine danneggiata irrimediabilmente nel 1433 dalle masnade al seguito di Niccol\u00f2 Piccinino.<\/p>\n
Oggi rimangono solo pochi resti visibili, parti di torri, della cinta muraria, della pieve e delle abitazioni. Gli edifici pi\u00f9 importanti si trovavano sulla sommit\u00e0 della collina, mentre la pieve ed il borgo, a loro volta circondati da una cinta muraria, erano sulle pendici.<\/p>\n
Nella prima met\u00e0 del Duecento, quando il territorio del comune di Volterra contava circa 7.000 abitanti, la rocca e il borgo di Monte Voltraio ospitavano circa 1.000 persone: una prova ulteriore del ruolo rilevante svolto da questo insediamento nell\u2019organizzazione e nel controllo di una zona strategica del territorio volteranno durante il Medioevo.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.3.1″ custom_padding=”0|0px|3px|0px|false|false” locked=”off”][et_pb_row custom_padding=”57px|0px|27px|0px|false|false” _builder_version=”3.0.47″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Titolo sezione – suggerimenti e approfondimenti” _builder_version=”3.20.2″]\n

Fra i tanti monumenti e centri abitati che occupano le sommit\u00e0 delle colline della Valdicecina il castello di Rocca Sillana \u00e8 uno dei pi\u00f9 significativi ed era uno dei maggiori insediamenti della zona, aperto al pubblico da pochi anni.<\/p>\n
Sorge isolato su un\u2019altura impervia e circondata da una fitta boscaglia, ma in realt\u00e0 \u00e8 un sito ricco di storia, che fu densamente abitato durante il medioevo e che controllava un territorio molto vasto.<\/p>\n
Secondo la tradizione, il nome di questo castello deriva da quello del generale romano Silla che assedi\u00f2 Volterra nell\u201880 a. C. In realt\u00e0 il nome di Rocca Sillana \u00e8 piuttosto recente, essendo nota fino alla met\u00e0 del Settecento con il nome di castello o rocca di Sillano, termine che \u00e8 testimoniato per la prima volta in un documento del 945.<\/p>\n
Invece \u00e8 molto probabile che il termine sillano sia semplicemente una trasformazione di Silvanus “boscoso” e del resto nel medioevo questa era una zona molto ricca di boschi.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion closed_toggle_text_color=”#e14b28″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” icon_color=”#e14b28″ admin_label=”Accordion – TESTO APPROFONDIMENTO” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ body_font=”Roboto||||||||” toggle_font=”Roboto||||||||” border_color_all=”#e14b28″ locked=”off”][et_pb_accordion_item title=”LEGGI DI PI\u00d9” open=”on” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ title_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” text_orientation=”center”]\n
LA STORIA<\/strong><\/p>\nIl borgo di Sillano risale all\u2019epoca etrusca, come testimoniano vari ritrovamenti archeologici. La prima notizia dell\u2019insediamento di \u201cSillano\u201d<\/strong> compare in un documento del X secolo del vescovo di Volterra mentre la prima menzione dell\u2019insediamento fortificato si trova in un documento del 1067 relativo a una vendita di terreni. Probabilmente a questo periodo risale la torre di avvistamento, oggi inglobata nella rocca.
Nei secoli successivi la Rocca di \u201cSillano\u201d<\/strong> subisce molteplici passaggi di propriet\u00e0.
Nel 1221 entra a far parte della giurisdizione di Volterra<\/strong>; nel XIV secolo diviene feudo della famiglia Petroni di Siena. Il 26 aprile 1386 la Rocca \u00e8 occupata da Martino Magli da Casole d\u2019Elsa e successivamente viene acquistata dalla Signoria di Firenze. L\u201911 novembre 1406 i Fiorentini, con la resa di Pisa, cedono il castello ad Andrea di messer Gherardo Gambacorti di Pisa, in ricompensa di servizi resi.
Da allora la fortezza rester\u00e0 sempre sotto la giurisdizione di Firenze<\/strong>. A partire dal XVI secolo inizia la fase di decadenza. Una lettera del 1527 del Capitano di Volterra ai Fiorentini, rivela che la Rocca \u00e8 ormai sfuggita a ogni controllo diventando rifugio per banditi e delinquenti.
Nella seconda met\u00e0 del Settecento<\/strong> il borgo di Sillano passa alla Comunit\u00e0 di Montecastelli che successivamente, nel 1788, viene unificata con quella di Castelnuovo. Con una delibera del 9 luglio 1873 il Borgo di Sillano passa, attraverso un atto di permuta, dal comune di Castelnuovo a quello di Pomarance. Nel 1850 la rocca era abitata dalla famiglia Acciai che \u00e8 costretta ad abbandonarla a causa delle continue \u2018ruberie\u2019. Alla fine degli anni \u201880 del 1900 la Rocca fu donata al Comune di Pomarance, dalla Famiglia Paladini.<\/p>\nLA ROCCA<\/strong><\/p>\nDalla Rocca la vista spazia a 360\u00b0 a coprire buona parte del territorio toscano.
L\u2019aspetto attuale \u00e8 il risultato di molteplici interventi avvenuti nel corso dei secoli, per adeguare l\u2019iniziale fortilizio (XI-XII secolo), all\u2019evoluzione della tecnica militare, culminata nel XV secolo con l\u2019introduzione delle armi da fuoco. A quel periodo risale la realizzazione dell\u2019imponente cortina muraria, a pianta poligonale, dotata di torrette angolari.
Intorno alla Rocca si sviluppa il borgo fortificato<\/strong>, le cui mura conservano resti dei due ingressi principali: Porta Volterrana e Porta San Rocco<\/strong>, con numerosi resti di abitazioni nei pressi di Porta San Rocco.
L\u2019interno della Rocca appare articolato in una possente torre di avvistamento (guardingo)<\/strong> e tre grandi corpi di fabbrica addossati alle mura che si affacciano su un cortile interno.
A sinistra dell\u2019ingresso inglobata nel fabbricato a Nord (A) si erge la torre a pianta quadrata, l\u2019edificio pi\u00f9 antico dell\u2019originario impianto medievale (XI-XII secolo). L\u2019accesso alla torre avveniva attraverso una porta collocata sul lato Sud ma non rimangono tracce della scala. All\u2019interno mensoloni angolari in pietra, supportavano i piani pavimentali in legno. Lo scavo all\u2019interno della Torre, condotto negli anni \u201980 dalla Soprintendenza Archeologica, ha riportato alla luce materiale ceramico, punte di freccia, frammenti di vetro e una spada, esposti in una sala della Mostra Permanente Guerrieri e Artigiani a Pomarance.
Una scalinata in pietra conduce nel fabbricato A<\/strong>, probabilmente riservato al capo della guarnigione, e dotato delle comodit\u00e0 indispensabili alla vita quotidiana. Ai lati dell\u2019ingresso sono conservati gli alloggiamenti per le sbarre che la bloccavano dall\u2019interno.
Nel fabbricato B<\/strong>, sono visibili alcune \u2018feritoie per arciere\u2019 e un \u2018necessario\u2019 riutilizzato come \u2018armadio\u2019. L\u2019edificio \u00e8 suddiviso in tre ambienti, collocati a diversi livelli che presentano ancora resti delle pavimentazioni originarie in cotto.
Il fabbricato C<\/strong> \u00e8 solo parzialmente conservato per il crollo di gran parte della volta. Il grande ambiente, con volte a botte, era suddiviso in tre unit\u00e0. Al suo interno, sono visibili i resti di un grande forno per alimenti, un\u2019arciera, una nicchia con un condotto di scarico verso l\u2019esterno e quanto rimane di un grande caminetto. Negli edifici B e C l\u2019accesso ai piani superiori avveniva attraverso una scalinata a pi\u00f9 rampe realizzata in parte in muratura e in parte in materiale deperibile. I piani superiori non si sono conservati.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.0.48″ background_size=”initial”

Among the many monuments and settlements that dominate the undulating hills of the Cecina Valley, the Rocca Sillana castle is one of the most significant.<\/p>\n
The hamlet of Sillano dates back to Etruscan times, as witnessed by various archaeological finds. The settlement of Sillano was first mentioned in a document from the 10th century written by the bishop of Volterra, and the fortified settlement in 1067 in a document recording the sale of lands. Probably the guard tower \u2013 now inserted into the structure of the fortress \u2013 dates back to this period. <\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion closed_toggle_text_color=”#e14b28″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” icon_color=”#e14b28″ admin_label=”Accordion – TESTO APPROFONDIMENTO” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ body_font=”Roboto||||||||” toggle_font=”Roboto||||||||” border_color_all=”#e14b28″ locked=”off”][et_pb_accordion_item title=”READ MORE” open=”on” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ title_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” text_orientation=”center”]\n
THE HISTORY<\/strong><\/p>\nOver the centuries, the Sillano stronghold underwent several changes of ownership.
In 1221, it was included in the jurisdiction of Volterra, and in the 14th century it became part of the feud of the Petroni family.
On 26th April 1386, the stronghold was occupied by Martino Magli from Casole d\u2019Elsa, and afterwards it was purchased by the Signoria of Florence.
On 11th November 1406 with the surrender of Pisa, the Florentines gave the stronghold to Andrea Messer Gherardo Gambacorti from Pisa, as a reward for the services he rendered. Since then, the fortress has been under the jurisdiction of Florence.
In the 16th century the period of decline began. A letter of 1527 by the Capitano of Volterra to the Florentines reveals that the fortress at the time was uncontrollable, having become a refuge for bandits and criminals.
In the second half of the 18th century, the village of Sillano passed to the Municipality of Montecastelli that subsequently, in 1788, was unified to that of Castelnuovo<\/strong><\/a>. With a resolution of 9th July 1873, the village of Sillano passed in exchange from the town of Castelnuovo to Pomarance<\/strong><\/a>. In 1850, the stronghold was inhabited by the Acciai family who were forced to abandon it due to continuous \u2018thefts\u2019. In the late 1980s, the fortress was donated to Pomarance by the Paladini family.<\/p>\nTHE ROCCA<\/strong><\/p>\nA 360\u00b0 view from the fortress overlooks most of Tuscany. The current appearance is the result of multiple renovations made over the centuries, to adapt the original stronghold (11th and 12th centuries) to the evolution of military technology, culminating with the introduction of firearms in the 15th century. In that period the imposing polygonal perimeter walls, with corner turrets, were built. Around the fortress, there is a fortified village, whose walls still show the remains of the two main entrances: Porta Volterrana and Porta San Rocco, with numerous remains of houses near Porta San Rocco. Inside the fortress is a mighty guard tower and three large buildings leaning on the walls that overlook a courtyard.
To the left of the entrance, the square tower assimilated into the building<\/strong> to the north (A<\/strong>) stands, this is the oldest building coming from the original medieval stronghold (11th-12th century). Access to the tower was through a door located on the south side but there is no longer trace of the flight of steps. Inside angular stone corbels supported the wooden floors. The excavation carried out by the Archaeological Superintendence inside the Tower in the 1980s has unearthed pottery, arrowheads, fragments of glass and a sword, now displayed in a hall of the

Il Castello si trova su di una collinetta di 231 metri di altezza alla confluenza fra il Torrente Sellate ed il Botro al Rio all\u2019interno dell\u2019attuale foresta di Berignone.
\nFu fondato nel medioevo da parte dei vescovi di Volterra che ne rimasero i proprietari per secoli. E’ conosciuto fin dal 990 quando si trovava al centro di un\u2019area intensamente popolata. Fu a lungo un centro importante per il controllo del territorio ed anche una residenza dei vescovi volterrani.<\/p>\n
Nel XIII secolo fu anche sede della zecca del vescovo di Volterra, che vi batteva moneta con l\u2019argento delle miniere vescovili di Montieri.
\nNel Trecento entr\u00f2 sotto il controllo del comune di Volterra. Oggi rimane in piedi solo parte della torre e pochi frammenti delle mura, intorno si notano le tracce del borgo, quasi scomparse all\u2019interno del bosco.<\/p>\n
Nel 1218 fu distrutto una prima volta dai soldati del comune di Volterra, ma venne subito ricostruito; nel 1235 vi fu assediato dalle truppe volterrane il vescovo Pagano Pannocchieschi ed uguale sorte tocc\u00f2 nel 1267 al vescovo Alberto degli Scolari.
\nIl castello \u00e8 costituito da un nucleo fortificato, il cassero, composto da una torre, che \u00e8 l\u2019unico edificio rimasto in parte in piedi, e da altre strutture in muratura; dalle aperture sopravvissute possiamo intuire che la torre doveva avere almeno tre piani oltre al pianterreno. Sotto al pianterreno vi \u00e8 una stanza interrata che doveva essere una cantina o un deposito. Una cinta muraria proteggeva questa zona del castello.<\/p>\n
Al di l\u00e0 di queste mura si estendeva il borgo, composto da numerosi edifici di cui si possono oggi leggere le tracce sul terreno; non conosciamo con precisione l\u2019estensione dell\u2019abitato a causa del bosco che ha occupato quest\u2019area. Non \u00e8 possibile nemmeno determinare se il borgo avesse una cinta muraria di difesa.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion closed_toggle_text_color=”#e14b28″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” admin_label=”Accordion SCARICA GUIDE” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ body_font=”Roboto||||||||” body_text_align=”center” toggle_font=”Roboto||||||||” border_color_all=”#e14b28″ locked=”off”][et_pb_accordion_item title=”DOWNLOAD THE BERIGNONE NATURE RESERVE GUIDE” open=”on” icon_color=”#e14b28″ _builder_version=”3.21.1″ title_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” text_orientation=”center”]\n

Una parte di essa \u2013 il settore pi\u00f9 a Est \u2013 esisteva gi\u00e0 prima del 1474, e costituiva il castello pi\u00f9 antico, il Cassero<\/strong>. Intorno al 1343 Gualtieri di Brienne, Duca di Atene e signore di Firenze, prese il controllo del Cassero e costru\u00ec una nuova torre, dall\u2019altro lato dell\u2019antica Porta a Selci. La torre venne poi unita al Cassero andando a costituire una struttura unica protetta da mura di cinta e fossati.<\/p>\n Nel 1430 si dette inizio alla costruzione dello sperone che ancora oggi si trova all\u2019estremit\u00e0 est della Fortezza e che da allora venne definito \u201cla scarpa\u201d, che fu terminato pochi anni dopo, nel 1432. Il termine deriva dalla sua forma, infatti le pareti presentano una pendenza accentuata nella parte inferiore destinata alla difesa contro i colpi dell\u2019artiglieria. Fra il Mastio e la Rocca Vecchia fu costruita anche una doppia cortina che univa le due rocche e che consentiva al tempo stesso di ricoverare una consistente guarnigione.

This massive building is visible from miles away and characterizes the skyline of the hill upon which the city lies. The Fortress was intended not only to protect the city, but primarily to keep the city under tight control and to prevent revolts against the new masters of the city. A part of the fortress \u2013 the easternmost part \u2013 was already standing before 1474 and was an ancient castle called the Cassero<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The construction of this section was completed in 1292 and was designed to augment the pre-existing defensive structures of the city and protect the area around Porta a Selci<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Around the year 1343, Gualtieri di Brienne, Duke of Athens and lord of Florence, took control of the Cassero and built a new tower on the other side of the ancient Porta a Selci. The tower was then joined to the Cassero thus creating a single structure protected by an outer ring of walls and ditches.<\/p>\n In 1430 began the construction of the prow-shaped outer wall which still stands at the easternmost end of the fortress; this defensive innovation, which was completed in 1432, has ever since been called \u201cthe shoe\u201d.<\/p>\n This name derives from the shape of the structure, as the walls are strongly slanted at the base to better protect against artillery attacks. All of the eastern section \u2013 the oldest part \u2013 is now called the Rocca Vecchia (\u201cold castle\u201d) or Femmina (\u201cfemale\u201d)<\/strong>, while the new part, built entirely in stone, consists of two parts: the Mastio<\/strong> on the western end, which is a large, isolated circular tower inside the walls, and a rectangle of curtain-walls with four, high circular towers at each corner.<\/p>\n A double curtain-wall was also built between the Mastio and the Rocca Vecchia to join the two fortifications and also created the necessary space to house a sizable garrison.

Conquistata dai fiorentini nel XIV secolo, la rocca fu quindi restituita ai volterrani, che ne reclamavano la propriet\u00e0, a condizione che fosse smantellata; assalita nuovamente dai volterrani nel 1427 fu infine danneggiata irrimediabilmente nel 1433 dalle masnade al seguito di Niccol\u00f2 Piccinino.<\/p>\n Oggi rimangono solo pochi resti visibili, parti di torri, della cinta muraria, della pieve e delle abitazioni.

In realt\u00e0 il nome di Rocca Sillana \u00e8 piuttosto recente, essendo nota fino alla met\u00e0 del Settecento con il nome di castello o rocca di Sillano, termine che \u00e8 testimoniato per la prima volta in un documento del 945.<\/p>\n Invece \u00e8 molto probabile che il termine sillano sia semplicemente una trasformazione di Silvanus “boscoso” e del resto nel medioevo questa era una zona molto ricca di boschi.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion closed_toggle_text_color=”#e14b28″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” icon_color=”#e14b28″ admin_label=”Accordion – TESTO APPROFONDIMENTO” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ body_font=”Roboto||||||||” toggle_font=”Roboto||||||||” border_color_all=”#e14b28″ locked=”off”][et_pb_accordion_item title=”LEGGI DI PI\u00d9” open=”on” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ title_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” text_orientation=”center”]\n LA STORIA<\/strong><\/p>\n Il borgo di Sillano risale all\u2019epoca etrusca, come testimoniano vari ritrovamenti archeologici. La prima notizia dell\u2019insediamento di \u201cSillano\u201d<\/strong> compare in un documento del X secolo del vescovo di Volterra mentre la prima menzione dell\u2019insediamento fortificato si trova in un documento del 1067 relativo a una vendita di terreni. Probabilmente a questo periodo risale la torre di avvistamento, oggi inglobata nella rocca. LA ROCCA<\/strong><\/p>\n Dalla Rocca la vista spazia a 360\u00b0 a coprire buona parte del territorio toscano.

The settlement of Sillano was first mentioned in a document from the 10th century written by the bishop of Volterra, and the fortified settlement in 1067 in a document recording the sale of lands. Probably the guard tower \u2013 now inserted into the structure of the fortress \u2013 dates back to this period. <\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion closed_toggle_text_color=”#e14b28″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” icon_color=”#e14b28″ admin_label=”Accordion – TESTO APPROFONDIMENTO” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ body_font=”Roboto||||||||” toggle_font=”Roboto||||||||” border_color_all=”#e14b28″ locked=”off”][et_pb_accordion_item title=”READ MORE” open=”on” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ title_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” text_orientation=”center”]\n THE HISTORY<\/strong><\/p>\n Over the centuries, the Sillano stronghold underwent several changes of ownership. THE ROCCA<\/strong><\/p>\n A 360\u00b0 view from the fortress overlooks most of Tuscany. The current appearance is the result of multiple renovations made over the centuries, to adapt the original stronghold (11th and 12th centuries) to the evolution of military technology, culminating with the introduction of firearms in the 15th century. In that period the imposing polygonal perimeter walls, with corner turrets, were built. Around the fortress, there is a fortified village, whose walls still show the remains of the two main entrances: Porta Volterrana and Porta San Rocco, with numerous remains of houses near Porta San Rocco. Inside the fortress is a mighty guard tower and three large buildings leaning on the walls that overlook a courtyard.

\nIl castello di Querceto \u00e8 documentato fin dal XI secolo, come appartenente alla diocesi di Massa Marittima che poi lo cedette al monastero di Monteverdi. Nel 1208 questi cedette il territorio di Querceto al comune di Volterra<\/a> e da allora i suoi abitanti furono cittadini volterrani.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_accordion closed_toggle_text_color=”#e14b28″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#ffffff” icon_color=”#e14b28″ admin_label=”Accordion – TESTO LEGGI DI PI\u00d9” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ body_font=”Roboto||||||||” body_text_align=”center” toggle_font=”Roboto||||||||” border_color_all=”#e14b28″][et_pb_accordion_item title=”LEGGI DI PI\u00d9” open=”on” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ title_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” title_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” body_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0em” body_text_shadow_blur_strength=”0em” text_orientation=”center”]\n
Lasciando l\u2019automobile al parcheggio all\u2019ingresso del borgo, \u00e8 possibile incamminarsi lungo il piccolo viale che conduce alla piazzetta sulla quale si affaccia la Pieve di San Giovanni Battista<\/a>.
La storia di Querceto, infatti, \u00e8 strettamente legata a quella della famiglia Ginori-Lisci, dalla quale prende il nome anche il castello attorno al quale si sviluppa tutto l\u2019abitato.
Il castello attualmente visibile \u00e8 stato edificato agli inizi del Novecento, per opera del conte Lorenzo Ginori il quale nel 1907 decise di ricostruire una dimora per la propria famiglia laddove si supponeva sorgesse la residenza signorile medievale. La costruzione \u00e8 assai imponente ed \u00e8 costituita da pi\u00f9 corpi uniti tra loro.
Emergono tra tutti la torre centrale, che termina con un ballatoio sorretto da beccatelli e coronato da merli \u201cguelfi\u201d ovvero a muratura piena (quelli ghibellini sono invece a coda di rondine rovesciata), e la facciata del primo ambiente del castello, quello che si vede non appena ci si incammina per le strette vie del centro.
Durante i mesi primaverili ed estivi la facciata \u00e8 completamente coperta da una pianta di vite americana che la caratterizza, rendendola assolutamente inconfondibile.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][et_pb_button button_url=”\/download\/montecatini-e-il-suo-territorio-guida\/?wpdmdl=43860&masterkey=5bafac1ac1568″ url_new_window=”on” button_text=”SCARICA LA GUIDA AL BORGO DI MONTECATINI VAL DI CECINA” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#e14b28″ button_icon=”%%20%%” button_icon_color=”#ffffff” background_layout=”dark” saved_tabs=”all” button_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_size__hover=”null” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_size__hover=”null” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover=”null” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”on” button_text_color__hover=”#ffffff” button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_color__hover=”null” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover=”null” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_width__hover=”null” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover=”null” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover=”null” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_color__hover=”null” button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_color__hover=”null” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover=”null” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_radius__hover=”null” button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_radius__hover=”null” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover=”null” button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_bg_color__hover=”null” button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_bg_color__hover=”null” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover=”null”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”3.11.1″][et_pb_fullwidth_slider _builder_version=”3.21.1″ custom_padding=”50px||50px|” button_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_size__hover=”null” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_size__hover=”null” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover=”null” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_color__hover=”null” button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_color__hover=”null” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover=”null” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_width__hover=”null” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover=”null” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover=”null” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_color__hover=”null” button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_color__hover=”null” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover=”null” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_radius__hover=”null” button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_radius__hover=”null” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover=”null” button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_bg_color__hover=”null” button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_bg_color__hover=”null” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover=”null”][et_pb_slide use_bg_overlay=”off” use_text_overlay=”off” arrows_custom_color=”#e14b28″ admin_title=”Querceto” _builder_version=”3.17.6″ header_font=”Roboto|500|||||||” header_text_align=”center” background_image=”http:\/\/volterratur.softhrod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/querceto-la_torre.jpg” button_on_hover=”on”]\nla torre del castello di Querceto<\/h2>\n[\/et_pb_slide][et_pb_slide use_bg_overlay=”off” use_text_overlay=”off” arrows_custom_color=”#e14b28″ admin_title=”Querceto” _builder_version=”3.17.6″ header_font=”Roboto|500|||||||” header_text_align=”center” background_image=”http:\/\/volterratur.softhrod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/querceto-la_pieve.jpg” button_on_hover=”on”]\n

The first mention of Querceto comes in a document dating to 1082 which classifies the locality as a villa. The centre though soon became a castle as mentioned in a document of 1118.
Leaving the car in the car park at the entrance to the medieval village, follow the little avenue that leads to the square where the parish church, St John the Baptist<\/a>, is to be found.
The history of Querceto is tied to that of the Ginori-Lisci family, after whom the castle, around which the village grew, is named.
The castle as it is today was built at the beginning of the 20th century, by Count Lorenzo who decided in 1907 to build a family home where it was assumed the medieval residence had been.
The building is palatial and includes several parts joined together. Topping the building is the central tower, garnished with a balcony on-brackets crowned with Guelph merlons (the Ghibelline are overturned swallow-tails), which comes to view on entering the medieval village.
In the spring and summer the walls are completely covered by an unmistakable Virginia creeper.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_button button_url=”\/download\/montecatini-e-il-suo-territorio-guida\/?wpdmdl=43860&masterkey=5bafac1ac1568″ url_new_window=”on” button_text=”DOWNLOAD THE MONTECATINI GUIDE” button_alignment=”center” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#e14b28″ button_icon=”%%20%%” button_icon_color=”#ffffff” background_layout=”dark” saved_tabs=”all” button_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_size__hover=”null” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_size__hover=”null” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover=”null” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”on” button_text_color__hover=”#ffffff” button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_color__hover=”null” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover=”null” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_width__hover=”null” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover=”null” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover=”null” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_color__hover=”null” button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_color__hover=”null” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover=”null” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_radius__hover=”null” button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_radius__hover=”null” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover=”null” button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_bg_color__hover=”null” button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_bg_color__hover=”null” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover=”null”][\/et_pb_button][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”3.11.1″][et_pb_fullwidth_slider _builder_version=”3.21.1″ custom_padding=”50px||50px|” button_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_size__hover=”null” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_size__hover=”null” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover=”null” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_color__hover=”null” button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_color__hover=”null” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover=”null” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_width__hover=”null” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover=”null” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover=”null” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_color__hover=”null” button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_color__hover=”null” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover=”null” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_radius__hover=”null” button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_radius__hover=”null” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover=”null” button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_bg_color__hover=”null” button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_bg_color__hover=”null” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover=”null”][et_pb_slide use_bg_overlay=”off” use_text_overlay=”off” arrows_custom_color=”#e14b28″ admin_title=”Querceto” _builder_version=”3.17.6″ header_font=”Roboto|500|||||||” header_text_align=”center” background_image=”http:\/\/volterratur.softhrod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/querceto-la_torre.jpg” button_on_hover=”on”]\nla torre del castello di Querceto<\/h2>\n[\/et_pb_slide][et_pb_slide use_bg_overlay=”off” use_text_overlay=”off” arrows_custom_color=”#e14b28″ admin_title=”Querceto” _builder_version=”3.17.6″ header_font=”Roboto|500|||||||” header_text_align=”center” background_image=”http:\/\/volterratur.softhrod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/querceto-la_pieve.jpg” button_on_hover=”on”]\n

The Fortress was built in 1474, exactly two years after Florence conquered the city of Volterra<\/a> following a fierce battle over the control of nearby alum mines, an important mineral used in the production of textiles.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The exterior of the towers and walls consist of a wide base and a walkway supported by protruding corbels which served a defensive function, or rather were used to launch stones and other materials onto approaching enemies. This walkway was also built onto the older sections and thus the entire perimeter today appears homogeneous.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ fullwidth=”on” _builder_version=”3.3.1″ custom_padding=”57px|0px|0px|0px|false|false”][et_pb_fullwidth_slider show_arrows=”off” show_pagination=”off” admin_label=”slider-pagina_interna – immagine con link” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ header_font=”Roboto|500|||||||” header_font_size_tablet=”39px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#ffffff” button_border_color=”#ffffff” button_font=”||||||||” button_icon_color=”#ffffff” custom_padding=”250px||250px|” button_bg_color_hover=”#e14b28″ saved_tabs=”all” button_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_size__hover=”null” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_size__hover=”null” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover=”null” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_color__hover=”null” button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_color__hover=”null” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover=”null” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_width__hover=”null” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover=”null” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover=”null” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_color__hover=”null” button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_color__hover=”null” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover=”null” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_radius__hover=”null” button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_radius__hover=”null” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover=”null” button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover=”null” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”on” button_bg_color__hover=”#e14b28″ button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_bg_color__hover=”null” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover=”null”][et_pb_slide heading=”The convict dinners<\/span>” button_text=”SCOPRI DI PI\u00d9” button_link=”\/?page_id=56772″ use_bg_overlay=”off” use_text_overlay=”off” admin_title=”Immagine linkata ” _builder_version=”3.21.1″ header_font=”||||||||” background_color=”#ffffff” background_image=”http:\/\/volterratur.softhrod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/header-cene-galeotte.jpg” button_on_hover=”on” button_alignment=”center” button_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_size__hover_enabled=”off” button_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_text_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_width__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_border_radius__hover_enabled=”off” button_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_letter_spacing__hover_enabled=”off” button_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_one_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off” button_two_bg_color__hover_enabled=”off”]\nLa ricercatezza della cucina stellata, un progetto di reinserimento dopo il carcere, la bella cornice della rocca medicea: questi gli ingredienti delle cene, esperienza unica nel cuore della citt\u00e0.<\/h2>\n[\/et_pb_slide][\/et_pb_fullwidth_slider][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″ custom_padding=”14px|0px|39px|0px” global_module=”47922″][et_pb_row custom_padding=”40px|0px|0px|0px” _builder_version=”3.0.106″ module_alignment=”center”][et_pb_column type=”1_4″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/volterratur.softhrod.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/footer-logo-grey.jpg” align=”center” admin_label=”logo Footer” _builder_version=”3.0.106″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Menu Pagine Custom” _builder_version=”3.20.2″ text_font=”Roboto||||||||” text_text_color=”#666666″ text_font_size=”12px” text_orientation=”center”]\n

Nei secoli successivi la Rocca di \u201cSillano\u201d<\/strong> subisce molteplici passaggi di propriet\u00e0.
Nel 1221 entra a far parte della giurisdizione di Volterra<\/strong>; nel XIV secolo diviene feudo della famiglia Petroni di Siena. Il 26 aprile 1386 la Rocca \u00e8 occupata da Martino Magli da Casole d\u2019Elsa e successivamente viene acquistata dalla Signoria di Firenze. L\u201911 novembre 1406 i Fiorentini, con la resa di Pisa, cedono il castello ad Andrea di messer Gherardo Gambacorti di Pisa, in ricompensa di servizi resi.
Da allora la fortezza rester\u00e0 sempre sotto la giurisdizione di Firenze<\/strong>. A partire dal XVI secolo inizia la fase di decadenza. Una lettera del 1527 del Capitano di Volterra ai Fiorentini, rivela che la Rocca \u00e8 ormai sfuggita a ogni controllo diventando rifugio per banditi e delinquenti.
Nella seconda met\u00e0 del Settecento<\/strong> il borgo di Sillano passa alla Comunit\u00e0 di Montecastelli che successivamente, nel 1788, viene unificata con quella di Castelnuovo. Con una delibera del 9 luglio 1873 il Borgo di Sillano passa, attraverso un atto di permuta, dal comune di Castelnuovo a quello di Pomarance. Nel 1850 la rocca era abitata dalla famiglia Acciai che \u00e8 costretta ad abbandonarla a causa delle continue \u2018ruberie\u2019. Alla fine degli anni \u201880 del 1900 la Rocca fu donata al Comune di Pomarance, dalla Famiglia Paladini.<\/p>\n
L\u2019aspetto attuale \u00e8 il risultato di molteplici interventi avvenuti nel corso dei secoli, per adeguare l\u2019iniziale fortilizio (XI-XII secolo), all\u2019evoluzione della tecnica militare, culminata nel XV secolo con l\u2019introduzione delle armi da fuoco. A quel periodo risale la realizzazione dell\u2019imponente cortina muraria, a pianta poligonale, dotata di torrette angolari.
Intorno alla Rocca si sviluppa il borgo fortificato<\/strong>, le cui mura conservano resti dei due ingressi principali: Porta Volterrana e Porta San Rocco<\/strong>, con numerosi resti di abitazioni nei pressi di Porta San Rocco.
L\u2019interno della Rocca appare articolato in una possente torre di avvistamento (guardingo)<\/strong> e tre grandi corpi di fabbrica addossati alle mura che si affacciano su un cortile interno.
A sinistra dell\u2019ingresso inglobata nel fabbricato a Nord (A) si erge la torre a pianta quadrata, l\u2019edificio pi\u00f9 antico dell\u2019originario impianto medievale (XI-XII secolo). L\u2019accesso alla torre avveniva attraverso una porta collocata sul lato Sud ma non rimangono tracce della scala. All\u2019interno mensoloni angolari in pietra, supportavano i piani pavimentali in legno. Lo scavo all\u2019interno della Torre, condotto negli anni \u201980 dalla Soprintendenza Archeologica, ha riportato alla luce materiale ceramico, punte di freccia, frammenti di vetro e una spada, esposti in una sala della Mostra Permanente Guerrieri e Artigiani a Pomarance.
Una scalinata in pietra conduce nel fabbricato A<\/strong>, probabilmente riservato al capo della guarnigione, e dotato delle comodit\u00e0 indispensabili alla vita quotidiana. Ai lati dell\u2019ingresso sono conservati gli alloggiamenti per le sbarre che la bloccavano dall\u2019interno.
Nel fabbricato B<\/strong>, sono visibili alcune \u2018feritoie per arciere\u2019 e un \u2018necessario\u2019 riutilizzato come \u2018armadio\u2019. L\u2019edificio \u00e8 suddiviso in tre ambienti, collocati a diversi livelli che presentano ancora resti delle pavimentazioni originarie in cotto.
Il fabbricato C<\/strong> \u00e8 solo parzialmente conservato per il crollo di gran parte della volta. Il grande ambiente, con volte a botte, era suddiviso in tre unit\u00e0. Al suo interno, sono visibili i resti di un grande forno per alimenti, un\u2019arciera, una nicchia con un condotto di scarico verso l\u2019esterno e quanto rimane di un grande caminetto. Negli edifici B e C l\u2019accesso ai piani superiori avveniva attraverso una scalinata a pi\u00f9 rampe realizzata in parte in muratura e in parte in materiale deperibile. I piani superiori non si sono conservati.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.0.48″ background_size=”initial”

In 1221, it was included in the jurisdiction of Volterra, and in the 14th century it became part of the feud of the Petroni family.
On 26th April 1386, the stronghold was occupied by Martino Magli from Casole d\u2019Elsa, and afterwards it was purchased by the Signoria of Florence.
On 11th November 1406 with the surrender of Pisa, the Florentines gave the stronghold to Andrea Messer Gherardo Gambacorti from Pisa, as a reward for the services he rendered. Since then, the fortress has been under the jurisdiction of Florence.

In the second half of the 18th century, the village of Sillano passed to the Municipality of Montecastelli that subsequently, in 1788, was unified to that of Castelnuovo<\/strong><\/a>. With a resolution of 9th July 1873, the village of Sillano passed in exchange from the town of Castelnuovo to Pomarance<\/strong><\/a>. In 1850, the stronghold was inhabited by the Acciai family who were forced to abandon it due to continuous \u2018thefts\u2019. In the late 1980s, the fortress was donated to Pomarance by the Paladini family.<\/p>\n

Access to the tower was through a door located on the south side but there is no longer trace of the flight of steps. Inside angular stone corbels supported the wooden floors. The excavation carried out by the Archaeological Superintendence inside the Tower in the 1980s has unearthed pottery, arrowheads, fragments of glass and a sword, now displayed in a hall of the
