Castello dei Vicari, Medieval castle in Lari, Italy.
The stone fortress stands on a hilltop with three entrance gates and defensive walls overlooking the Pisan hills of Tuscany.
Built in the early 12th century, the castle changed control between Pisa and Florence multiple times until becoming a residence for Florentine vicars in 1406.
The castle includes a chapel in the courtyard and halls that display local historical artifacts, documenting centuries of regional governance.
Visitors can take guided tours of the castle's chambers, including the former prison cells and the ancient water cistern beneath the structure.
The castle served as a courthouse for witch trials and contains underground chambers that were used as torture dungeons during medieval times.
