Fort and village Montecarlo was founded in 1333 by future Bohemian king and Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV, who freed the nearby city of Lucca from the Pisan rule. A true settlement, however, appeared only after the Florentines destroyed the nearby castle of Vivinaia, and the authorities of the Republic of Lucca moved the population to the same hill of Charles' castle.
