Album Info:

We may suppose that it should take part to that first fortified line, known with the name of byzantine limes, bound to bar the ways that lead to the tyrrhenian naval bases (Luni) of the sea province Italorum, made of castles, towers linked at sight and arranged to contol the most important routes, for example the near Aemilia Scauri, the most important byzantine coast road. With the passing of the years and the changing of the political-military situations, the place gained more and more importance to settle in it, around the end of the X century, one of the various Bishop’s residences of the valley, a Palatium Episcopi whose existence we have no more traces. The castle is quoted continuosly in the years 1076, 1078,1080 as court of Frederick II the Redbeard and in the 1191 as court of Henry VI and in the 1203 as the Bishop’s breadbasket.
