Castello di Lari

Lari

Lari is a small medieval town situated near the Tuscan coast 30 km south of Pisa and 80 km south-west of Florence.

The Lari castle has always been the central hub of the Tuscan government and now it is increasingly important in the life of the surroundings. The architecture of the Castle has remained almost unchanged since it was built as the seat of government. It is located on the top of the hill of Lari, the perfect point to keep watch over the entire valley of the Arno river. This is why it was so important, and, over the centuries, so disputed over. Inside there was a prison, Chancellery, the residence of the Vicario and the Magistrates Court.

Civil Ceremony

Castello di Lari

The beautiful Lari Castle is now mainly used for the celebration of civil weddings. Inside the castle’s walls the atmosphere seems to be rarefied. Ceremonies can take place in the Sala del Tribunale or in the Salone Pietro Leopoldo di Toscana (recently restored and decorated with 16th century frescoes) or in the Castle courtyard decorated with over 90 coats-of arms of the Florentine Vicari. Lari is the perfect scenary for an intimate and romantic ceremony.
