Tourist and Historical Information: Montecarlo is one of the most fascinating and historically rich medieval villages in Tuscany, perched on a hill ridge separating the Valdinievole and the Lucchesia plain. Founded in 1333 by the Republic of Lucca to gather the refugees of the destroyed town of Vivinaia, the village owes its name to Prince Charles, the future Emperor Charles IV of Bohemia, who liberated Lucca from Pisan rule. The historic center, enclosed by majestic and almost intact medieval walls with three original access gates, the Porta Fiorentina, the Porticciola, and the Porta Nuova, is dominated by the majestic Fortezza del Cerruglio, dating back to the fourteenth century and later expanded by Paolo Guinigi and Cosimo I de' Medici. Outstanding historical landmarks in the village include the fourteenth-century Collegiata Church of Sant'Andrea Apostolo, which houses the Sanctuary of Madonna del Soccorso and the Treasury Museum, and the beautiful Teatro dei Rassicurati, one of the smallest historical theaters in Italy, visited in the nineteenth century by Giacomo Puccini. At the foot of the hill lies the ancient romanesque Pieve di San Piero in Campo, dating back to 846, while on the hillside slopes visitors can admire the majestic Quercia delle Streghe, a secular oak over 500 years old linked to local folklore. The area is famous worldwide for the production of Montecarlo DOC white and red wines and high-quality extra virgin olive oil.
