In Etruscan times it was one of the most important centers for processing and trade of the medieval walls ferro.Le , built for defense against pirates, and the Castle, built in the early fifteenth century, enclosing cobbled alleys, small shops and a private museum of Etruscan and Roman remains, discovered in the area and at sea.
