The town grew from the castle built and ruled by the Counts of Scialenga in medieval times and is surrounded by walls in large part still visible, although at some point become much because of the houses that were built close .. The walls are equipped with five round towers of stone, with a sloping base., Except one of those to the north. Their arrangement along the walls follows the defensive needs of the village with three on the north side, one in the south side and a west, near the door of the Dyers. The original doors were two, that port is connected to the Dyers road leading to Siena and Asciano and Porta S. Antonio located in the southeast. Probably this port which takes its name from a church that was near and that there remains a large pointed arch of stone, was built the first access port, which is seen just below the ruins of the castle Cacciaconti. In relatively recent times has been built to the north the so-called Porta Nova, which has guaranteed access to Piazza Matteotti of modern means of transport.
