Nozzano Castle, Lucca, Tuscany, Italy


Standing watch over the nearby Serchio River, the Nozzano Castle has stood for a thousand years on a rocky hill a few miles west of the walled city of Lucca.  It dates back to the period of strife between Lucca and neighboring Pisa which also had a similar castle on their side of the river adjacent to this one.

The castle itself is not open to the general public but wandering outside was still pleasant enough.



Here's the view from the other side of town as we departed.

Surrounding countryside.

A nearby villa, now a bed and breakfast. Beautiful visuals even on a cloudy day.
