The territory of Sassetta rise from a woody basin along the slopes of the Capodimonte mountain, located inland between Cecina and Piompino. Cited in documents from the 11th and 12th centuries, it was owned by the Orlandi, a powerful family from Pisa. The castle was under political rule of the Tyrrhenian Republic until the 1400s, when it then passed under the jurisdiction of Florence.
