Still drawing this one…Ancora un attimo, la stiamo disegnando…Einen Moment, wir zeichnen sie noch…
Visiting the Old Town of Gambassi Terme means plunging into a small hamlet made of narrow streets, steep and hidden from view, with stone and brick buildings, which reveal the importance of this ancient strategic centre in the Valdelsa area. The Gambassi Castle, documented for the first time in 1037 when it came under the control of the Bishop of Volterra, was built by its residents in its current location towards the end of the 12th century. Its old town, as evidence of this renewal, retains an urban structure showing some degree of planning, laid out on three main streets with a rather straight and parallel pattern, two of which merge into the square of the Castle.
