To date it is the <strong>undisputed symbol of the city<\/strong>, and in its shadow the Samminiatesi always find the comfort that only a mother can give: the <strong>Rocca <\/strong>(as it&#8217;s affectionately called) in fact, for us citizens, it&#8217;s as if it was part of our family since when we are born!<\/p>\n<p>The history of the Tower of Frederick II has medieval origins. The city of San Miniato stands in a strategic position on a hill overlooking the surrounding valley, and is equidistant from the major city centers of the area such as Florence, Pisa, Volterra, San Gimignano, Siena etc&#8230; It was not by chance that it was chosen during the <strong>11th century<\/strong> by the German emperors of the <strong>Holy Roman Empire<\/strong> as a center of power and control of all <strong>Tuscany<\/strong>. It was during this period that Emperor <strong>Ottone I<\/strong> built a majestic defensive fortification, endowing the village of San Miniato with imposing walls. The crowning of this work, however, was thanks to Emperor <strong>Frederick II<\/strong> who, on the highest peak of the city, had the famous <strong>Tower<\/strong> erected which still dominates the city.<\/p>\n<h5><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5238 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoversanminiato.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Discover-SanMiniato_Torre-Federico-II_Torre-di-Matilde.jpg\" alt=\"Tower of Frederick II and Tower of Matilde in San Miniato\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoversanminiato.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Discover-SanMiniato_Torre-Federico-II_Torre-di-Matilde.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.discoversanminiato.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Discover-SanMiniato_Torre-Federico-II_Torre-di-Matilde-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoversanminiato.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Discover-SanMiniato_Torre-Federico-II_Torre-di-Matilde-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/h5>\n<h5>The city walls<\/h5>\n<p>The <strong>Rocca<\/strong> was part of the first city walls, which enclosed the upper part of the hill where served as a keep: the highest tower in the city that was used as a lookout and defense tower in case of attack. Two other towers were part of the second city walls: the <strong>Cornacchie Tower<\/strong> (unfortunately destroyed) and the current <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoversanminiato.it\/en\/what-to-see\/\"><strong>Matilde Tower<\/strong><\/a>, the bell tower of the cathedral.<\/p>\n<p>An inscription that was on the Rocca reported that the imperial chancellor <strong>Corrado da Spira<\/strong> had been appointed as superintendent of the tower, while thanks to historical accounts it&#8217;s said that the secretary of the emperor <strong>Pier delle Vigne<\/strong> was imprisoned inside on the charge of betrayal and corruption against the sovereign. We find the latter character in the <strong>Divine Comedy<\/strong>, in the 13th canto of Inferno, placed in the suicide circle imprisoned in the trees of a forest: at the base of the Tower we find a plaque that reports precisely this passage.<\/p>\n<h5><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-5240 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoversanminiato.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Discover-SanMiniato_Torre-Federico-II_Targa-divina-commedia.jpg\" alt=\"Targa divina commedia alla base della Torre di Federico II a San Miniato\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoversanminiato.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Discover-SanMiniato_Torre-Federico-II_Targa-divina-commedia.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.discoversanminiato.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Discover-SanMiniato_Torre-Federico-II_Targa-divina-commedia-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoversanminiato.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/Discover-SanMiniato_Torre-Federico-II_Targa-divina-commedia-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/h5>\n<h5>The demolition of the Tower<\/h5>\n<p>Unfortunately, however, the tower we see today is not the original.
