Mugello is a land full of attractions, thanks above all to its history, which has its roots very far in the past centuries. Here below we indicate you some of the most beautiful and interesting places to visit around BARBERINO DI MUGELLO.

LAKE BILANCINO:
Lake Bilancino is an artificial pool. In summertime many people living in this area gather around it: in fact, here it is possible to swim and practise some sports, such as sail, canoe and windsurf.

CASTLE OF CAFAGGIOLO:
The Castle of Cafaggiolo was a Medicean residence, used by the powerful tuscan family to give parties, balls and to receive illustrious guests. Originally it was a little fortress, with two towers, drawbridge, boundary walls and moats, unfortunately today it doesn't remain much of these structures, maybe because of the renovations done by the bourgeous princes, who bought the castle in 1864.
