The village, dating back to the medieval period, was originally a military lookout and defense structure placed by the State of Lucca to control the valley road, through which the Via Francigena moved. Its origin is very remote, probably contemporary with the rise of the parish churches along the banks of the valley during the eighth century. With the name of Torre degli Onesti it appears in a land registry document of 1441, on the hill above San Martino in Freddana called the Castle. Each intervention was carried out respecting the original architecture, using local wood, stone, terracotta and cork, and applying bio-architecture principles. The entire structure is now equipped with solar thermal panels for the production of domestic hot water integrated with a wood biomass boiler, 20 kWh photovoltaic panels and a phytodepuration system for maximum respect for the environment.
