4. Rocca di Castruccio Castracani This powerful fortress was wanted by the Lucchesi after they had conquered the castle in 1302. It was finally completed by Uguccione della Faggiola and then by Castruccio Castracani. Standing as it does right at the farthest part of the village, its profile is characterized by the hexagonal tall tower formed from well shaped blocks of stone, and with its two bastions, it has an ancient cistern for the conservation of water which is visible at the centre of the fortification.

6. Gabella’s Gate The gate opens with a semicircular arch set on the town walls, probably built at the beginning of the 14th Century when it became necessary to link the old walls to the newest ones. From the gate we reach Gabella Vecchia, an old hamlet at the castle's feet, in which ancient houses we can still find some old inscriptions. During the 12th century Serravalle had two gates, Castellina Gate (also known as S.Andrea Gate) in the north of the village, and Nievole Gate in the west side, but today there are no certain traces of them.
