Yacht charter Viareggio had been of a strategic importance for the towns of Lucca and Genoa since the 12^th century because of its situation both at the Via Regia (the royal way of Barbarossa) and at the mouth of the Canale Burlamacca. It was protected first by a simple fort and later on by a castle, the Torre Mathilde.

In the 19^th century yacht charter Viareggio was turned into a sea resort with many therapeutic baths.
