This castle for sale near Pisa, built in 1172, owes its name and its emblem to the shape of the hill on which it stands, similar to an inverted glass. Its ancient origins are documented and clearly visible in the structure of the building, whose history has spanned the centuries: it seems to have been the property of the Della Gherardesca counts, a structure born for defensive purposes and subsequently purchased by the Municipality, in 1198. After the Florentine conquest of Pisa, the fort became a noble residence and until the early 20th century was a productive farm. The estate consists of the main house with a farm, and a church owned by the Curia. The castle has an area of about 5.000 sq m while the village covers about 1.300 sq m.The wine-growing vocation of this estate, facilitated by the fertility of the surrounding land, makes it suitable for investments in the cultivation of vines and for a wine production that is highly appreciated on the current market.Ref.: 1453https://www.lionard.com/ancient-castle-for-sale-in-pisa.html
