Cassero "Corridore"

This medieval fortified corridor, originally connecting the Emperor's Castle to the city walls of Prato, was restored by Riccardo Dalla Negra and Pietro Ruschi between 1988 and 2000. The elevated passageway, a rare surviving example of this typology in Tuscany, was consolidated and adapted for public cultural use. The restoration preserved the raw masonry character of the defensive structure while making it accessible as a pedestrian walkway and exhibition space, offering visitors elevated views over the historic center of Prato.
