At the beginning of the 13th century the place was conquered and destroyed by Florence. However, as Florence recognized the strategic importance of this area, it immediately began to rebuild the castle. In 1336 the municipality built the city walls and in 1416 received the statute of Podesteria. Montelupo has been known for ceramic production since the 15th century .
