The town is of Etruscan origins, although the current settlement dates to around 1000 AD. It was a possession and the main centre of the Ardengheschi family, and later was occupied by the Republic of Siena until the mid-16th century, when it became part of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany.

It has medieval walls and a series of Renaissance edifices.
