The Rocca di Vicopisano, also known as Rocca del Brunelleschi, and its medieval tower system represent one of the most extraordinary examples of medieval and Renaissance military architecture in Tuscany. The fortified village of Vicopisano hosts as many as 13 well-preserved medieval towers, integrated into the urban fabric, in addition to the famous fortified complex designed by Filippo Brunelleschi in 1435.
