Night tours in the Vicari Castle of Lari

Nightly openings from 9.30 p.m. to 11.30 p.m. of the Vicari Castle on Mondays and Thursdays in July and August. The evocative lighting makes Lari’s summer nights magical.

Lari has an outer wall with three access gates and is characterised by the massive bulk of the Castello dei Vicari, a medieval structure, although the current structure dates back to the 17th century. Due to its dominating position, it was an important military garrison of the Pisan Republic until the fall under Florence, when it became not only the residence of the Vicars, governors until 1848, but also a prison, a place of torture and a court of law.
