During the 11th century a castle was built perched on a rock, controlling the access to the Arno river.<\/p>\n The bishops of Arezzo, Counts Guidi, Ubertinis<\/strong> and Tarlatis from Pietramala <\/strong>at different points in time held the castle and the town under their ownership but, during the second half of the 1300s the Florentine republic conquered Subbiano, making it a municipality.<\/p>\n The castle was placed in a strategic position, protecting a bridge on the Arno river, a residential area and a series of mills. Of the old mansion, still documented during the 1800s, there still is a sturdy keep and some parts of the walls, visible from the promenade that runs on the bank of the river.<\/p>\n The church of Our Lady of the Visitation (chiesa di Santa Maria della Visitazione)<\/strong>, built in the 13th century to substitute the first church of the castle considered too small, was enlarged and a loggia was built adjacent to it; the bell tower was added in the 19th century.<\/p>\n In the centre of Subbiano, the most interesting sights are the City Magistrate\u2019s palace, Ducci palace and Subiani-Ducci palace. The Centre for the Documentation of the Archaeological Culture<\/strong> has archaeological finds discovered in the area that cover a period of time that goes from the 7th century BC to the 14th century.<\/p>\n The large municipal territory of Subbiano houses evocative places such as the castle of Valenzano <\/strong>has been documented since the 11th century but was probably built by the Langobards<\/strong>. The castle was totally restored in 1870 by the Bastogi family<\/strong>, in a neo-mediaeval style with some Romantic influences. Going up towards the Catenaia Alp, deep in verdant forests of oaks, chestnuts and beeches, there is the hamlet of Falciano <\/strong>with its two operating mills. Along the Arno river are Santa Mama<\/strong>, with the church of st. Mamante <\/strong>built in the 11th century, Ponte Caliano <\/strong>and Castelnuovo<\/strong>, on the border with the territory of Arezzo. In the hamlet of Castelnuovo there is the grand castle of the Fioraia<\/strong>, built after the year 1000 and modified many times during the following centuries, that takes its name from the family that received it at the beginning of the 1400s as a homage to its services to the Florentine Republic.<\/p>\n On Libbia <\/strong>road there are Chiaveretto<\/strong>, on the Chiassa <\/strong>stream, and Montegiovi<\/strong>, which derives its name from a lost temple dedicated to Jupiter<\/strong>, the Roman god.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”90px”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/6″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” text_align=”left” background_animation=”none” css_animation=””][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”10\/12″][vc_single_image image=”7783″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_column_text]Subbiano[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” text_align=”left” background_animation=”none” css_animation=””][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”10\/12″][vc_single_image image=”7782″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_column_text]Castle of Valenzano[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” text_align=”left” background_animation=”none” css_animation=””][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”10\/12″][vc_single_image image=”7781″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_column_text]Castle of Fioraia, Castelnuovo[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” text_align=”left” background_animation=”none” css_animation=””][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”10\/12″][vc_single_image image=”7780″ img_size=”full” qode_css_animation=””][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_column_text]Arno river[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”60px”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/12″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”grid” text_align=”left” background_animation=”none” css_animation=””][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][vc_column_text]Share[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”15px”][vc_column_text]
