Serravalle Pistoiese

Serravalle Pistoiese has served as a fortified stronghold in Tuscany since the Middle Ages. Set at a narrow pass between the Pistoia plain and Valdinievole, the town occupies a strategic corridor beneath the Montalbano ridge. Its medieval fortifications still define the old centre: the Rocca Vecchia and Rocca Nuova stand on opposing heights, linked by walls that once controlled passage through the valley. Stone lanes and small squares give the settlement a notably compact character, while olive groves and wooded slopes begin beyond its built-up core. Pistoia and the spa town of Montecatini Terme belong to the wider area. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Serravalle Pistoiese and Tuscany.
