 Our village, Castiglion Ubertini, takes its name from the powerful feudal
Ubertini family. Its origin dates back to the end of the 12th century even if
substantial "chipped flint stones" have been found which show the existence
of a pre-historic settlement.
The castle contained the main building, the workers' huts , and the small church
of San Giorgio. It was destroyed by means of the Florentine militia in 1342.
Our farmhouse goes back to the late Middle Ages because the original central core
was a sighting tower, given its strategic position overlooking the Valdarno area.
In the existing external wall, you can find a stone with hieroglyphics which experts
have interpreted as a "quarry mark" dating back to the late Middle Ages which
shows how stones of the existing tower had been used in extension work.
