Walking through the historic centre of the village of Piegaro and following the road that leads from Piazza del Comune to the pretty little Chiesa della Madonna della Crocetta, you’ll come across a picturesque and important medieval well. It is located inside Castello di Piegaro and its construction dates back to the 13th century. This hydraulic system was extremely important over the centuries as it was the only water source in the village and because of it, the population of the village were able to satisfy all their water supply requirements.
The medieval well, which is of considerable size, was created entirely via digging by hand.
