Il Castello Di Bibbione History:
Erected by the Cadolingi of Montecascioli, the Castle of Bibbione is documented in the very ancient manuscripts from the year 997 by the name of Castrum Bibionis.  Surrounded by city walls, which in the past served as a final defense for its inhabitants, the Castle dominates a medieval village and ancient houses dot the slope of the hill. Its lands extend to below the Via Cassia and the Pesa River. The foundations of the Castle go back to the 9th century and the construction was completed in year 1000, while the first group of stone farmhouses dates back to the latter half of the 13th century. In the Renaissance, the battlements were removed and the fortification was then transformed into a country residence. A particularity of the Castle is the underground passage which winds its way for hundreds of meters down to the river plain.  This secret passage, certainly used for supplies during the sieges, has only been explored in its first section.  In 1124, the new owners of the land, the Buondelmonti, restored the old ruined sentinel.  Thus, Bibbione became one of the four Buondelmonti Castles, connected one to the other and constituting a quadrilateral in defense of the Pesa Valley: the Bibbione Castle, the Montefiridolfi Castle, the Pergolato and the S. Andrea ones at Fabbrica. Moreover, the Buondelmonti family had a small church, Santa Maria, built between the 12th and the 13th centuries next to the walls of the Castle. In the year 1142, they began the restructuration of the shelter of San Jacopo of the Calzaiuoli for the pilgrims.
