We know with certainty that existed in 1189, because it is mentioned in a bull of Clement III, which were confirmed to the bishop of Siena Bono property of churches and castles including the "Castellum de arce Crevole cum." The word arce suggests that this fortress had a preponderant importance than elsewhere fortified Bishopric. In fact, Crevole Murlo shared with the honor and the burden of being the most important center of the dominion of the Bishop of Siena. At that time in Crevole was preserved the archive of the Bishopric and always Crevole were compiled in 1323 the statutory laws of the Feud. In the war between the Republic of Siena and the Duchy of Florence, which was nothing more than a clash between the crowns of Spain and France, Crevole during the invasions of the Spanish-Imperial forces Medici and was forced to surrender after a valiant defense in November of the same year. Battle of the recent excavations have revealed the places where the bombs fell and the damage caused.
