Riserve Naturali Senesi

Most of the Reserve, rich in historical evidences, stretches in the territory which formed in 1055 the feud of the Archbishop of Siena, whose seat was in the nearby castle of Murlo, while an important stronghold was represented by the castle of Crevole. Besides Crevole, also Vallerano, Montepescini and Olivello, small villages scattered on the borders of the Reserve, belonged to the community of the archbishop's feud, while the beautiful complex of S. Giusto, ancient property of the Ranuccini family, was given in the 15th century to the Spedale di S. Maria della Scala.
