The ancient castle of Casole d'Elsa has been recorded since the beginning of the 11th century as an important stronghold of the bishops of Volterra in a territory disputed by the Volterrani, Sienese and Florentines. Passing under Sienese rule following the Battle of Montaperti (1260), the village was enlarged with new fortifications, receiving the toponymic structure that still distinguishes it today.
