History of La Casella Villa in Tuscany
La Casella is formed by two parts and the oldest part that currently is the highest one, was one of the many Watch Towers utilized by the papal army during the medieval period. It was used to have wide views over the region. Parts of the tower fell down during the centuries, due to wars and weather conditions. The damaged tower was rebuilt in various ways, to be used either as a watch tower, for housing or farm storage. Lower part of the house was built in the second half of 1800's and up to when the owner bought it, seems like the ground floor was used as a stable, cow shed and pigsty, while the tower was a grains storehouse. Upper floor probably had dedicated living areas for the family. Read the story of the remodeling and see the changes in the photos at the house-book of the villa.
