The Cancelli's Tower, that rises isolated at dominion of the main
crossing point between the Arno Valley and the Sienese territory of
the Chianti Region, control the road that leads to the
Montegrossi
Castle, of which in origin this fortification was an outpost. The
tower, built completely in stone, with square shape and about 20 meters
high is now partially incorporated in a farmhouse. Cancelli can be
considered one of the best preserved of the many watch towers of the
Chianti borderline, like the not far
Barbischio and
Albola.
