A view of Castle of Lari from its bottom;
right next to it is a world famous pasta factory.

The castle of the Vicars of Lari is a perfectly conserved example of medieval fortress. It was built atop of a hill over a very strategic territory and its possession caused many wars between Pisa and Florence in the early Middle Ages. Discover what happened in its gloomy dungeons through the stories of our tour leader. The castle is located very close to a worldwide famous pasta factory. You will visit it and learn how pasta is produced using traditional methods and tools, differently from industrial production. A tasting of the locally produced cherry liquor in an old-fashion bar is included.
