The oldest part
Colle di Val d’Elsa is surrounded by stone which is on top of a hill with small valleys that surround it. In fact, these valleys divide it into three parts, “Piano”, “Borgo” e “Castello “. Today they are known as “Colle bassa” e “Colle alta”. It was here that the glass industry started towards the end of ‘500. The reason Colle is known all over the world is for its crystal.
