Torre Aquisana

History

In the 12th century Casciana (then called Aqui) was the seat of a castle with walls and towers, located in the Petraia nucleus. The Torre Aquisana is the surviving testimony of it, still visible today. Casciana, formerly Bagno ad Acqua, was a hamlet of Lari until 1927, then an independent municipality, and since 1 January 2014 it has merged with Lari again in the municipality of Casciana Terme Lari.
