History enthusiasts can’t miss the Castello dei Vicari, a castle of Etruscan origins and located in the medieval village of Lari, an important political, administrative and agricultural centre. For centuries, it served as the "capital of the Pisan Hills". The name "Lari" has been traced back to the Etruscan-Roman term «lar», Lare, a deity protecting rural communication routes.
