The fortification of Suvereto was commissioned by the Aldobrandeschi family, who already held public rights over Populonia, and who moved the administrative center of their holdings to the area. The original settlement consisted primarily of wooden huts and a few rough, unworked stone buildings. The first walled nucleus of the complex consists of a quadrangular tower, a structure more defensive than residential, most likely built around 1164. The walls are made of worked stone arranged in horizontal, parallel rows, with arrow slits at various heights along the walls. At the same time, the village also developed along the terraces of the hill, with a curvilinear shape of concentric rings.

A view that is worth the climb to get there...

The village of “Leccia” is a very small urban settlement of medieval origin, located in the Val di Cornia, on the road that connects Sasso Pisano to Larderello and stands on the edge of ancient cork and holm oak forests from which it inherited its name. Near the village, near the village cemetery, the Sanctuary of the Madonna del Libro which is worth a visit for the canvas by the painter Matteo di Pierantonio de’ Gondi from Leccia, housed in the parish church of the hamlet. Here is also the milk source, mentioned as early as the 16th century and also accredited by ancient tradition. It is said that it brought milk back to the mothers who drank its waters.. La Leccia stands on the site where, during the Middle Ages, there was a castle whose first mention dates back to 1028 and of which only a few wall remains of the walls and some buildings remain. The castle was largely owned by the bishop of Volterra, although the Cadolingi counts and the Monastery of S. Pietro in Palazzolo near Monteverdi had rights there. In 1204 the men of the castle submitted to the municipality of Volterra. From the road that connects Sasso and Leccia it is possible to access the excavations of the Antiche Terme del Bagnone: a vast Etruscan-Roman thermal complex active from the 3rd century BC until the late imperial era, which would testify to the exploitation, since ancient times, of the local geothermal resources. According to illustrious sources, it should be the Aquae Populoniae, well known in classical antiquity and reported in the Tabula Itineraria Peutingeriana. The archaeological structures are inserted in a valuable and suggestive natural environment.

Great place, great products if nearby a must stop restaurant. With a view of the Biancane.

unfortunately a tour we started enthusiastic but we came back disheartened. first we had to take a long detour because of Maremma sheepdogs and then a closed road that entered right into their property. then found the path along the river blocked due to recent flooding we had to go back and take another route a lot on asphalt. then the maximum disappointment you can't get to Rocca Sillana by bike there is a path to go only on foot of about 15 minutes uphill with wooden steps and dirt. well anyway it was a beautiful day with my bike friend Marco.

Visible point (from a distance) of a shower head expelling steam.

Very worth seeing, you have to see it
