There are other characteristic medieval tower houses to be seen in the vicinity - Torre Martinoli (13th century), Casa Nannatti e Miranceli, Torre Buonnaguidi (12th century). In Via Ricciarelli are the Palazzetto della Sbarba (No. 24) and the Casa Ricciarelli (Nos. 34-36; note the small windows for children below the main windows).
