Top 16 things to do and attractions in Marina di Pietrasanta

It’s nice to sit on the Big Bench at dusk and enjoy small talk while looking at Pietra Santa. If you have time, you should visit. It doesn’t take long, but be aware that the slope is steep and the path is not well-maintained.

(Translated by Google) The score rewards the view and the panorama more than the Rocca itself. Neglected environment, dirty benches and adjacent areas. The panoramic bench is taken by storm. There are no descriptive signs or information on the Rock. It really gives the idea of ​​a beautiful, now abandoned place that would have much more potential. Sin (Original) Il punteggio premia più la vista e il panorama che la Rocca in sé per sé. Ambiente trascurato, panchine e zone adiacenti sporche. La panchina panoramica è presa d'assalto. Non ci sono cartelli descrittivi o informazioni sulla Rocca. Dà proprio l'idea di un bel posto ormai abbandonato che avrebbe molto più potenziale. Peccato

(Translated by Google) It is true that you can see it from the main square of the historic center towering over the hill, but some indicative signs could be installed along the route. However, after climbing a few hundred meters, the effort to reach this place is amply rewarded by the surrounding landscape. From the town square the impression is different: it looks like a fortified fiefdom, however... Only partially intact sections of the ancient walls remain. However, it is suggestive to find yourself in front of what remains even if greater maintenance would make the perimeter safer and more interesting. The memory of a challenging climb and a landscape as far as the eye can see remains. (Original) È vero che la si vede dalla piazza principale del centro storico troneggiare sulla collina, ma qualche cartello indicativo lungo il percorso si potrebbe installarlo. Comunque, dopo essersi inerpicati per qualche centinaio di metri, la fatica per raggiungere questo luogo è ampiamente ripagata dal paesaggio circostante. Dalla piazza del paese l'impressione è diversa: sembra un feudo fortificato, invece... Rimangono solo parzialmente intatti tratti di antiche mura. È comunque suggestivo trovarsi di fronte a quello che rimane anche se una maggiore manutenzione renderebbe più sicuro ed interessante il perimetro. Rimane il ricordo di una impegnativa salita e di un paesaggio a perdita d'occhio.

(Translated by Google) Let's say right away that only a few perimeter walls remain of the Rocca, although observing it from below it can give the impression of a real castle still standing. It is accessed via a short but somewhat steep climb starting from the cathedral square. People usually rush to take photos sitting on the giant bench at the top, but honestly it's not worth it! Once you arrive at the top, the view is nice but certainly not breathtaking (wide expanse of urban panorama and warehouses with a strip of sea in the background), the route ends under the only perimeter wall still preserved and two large plastic pipes make a beautiful display (photo) . As for the bench, it is generally taken over by hordes of children and teenagers who smoke... Let's say that there are better attractions in the area! (Original) Diciamo subito che della Rocca rimane giusto qualche muro perimetrale, anche se osservandola dal basso può dare l'impressione di un vero e proprio castello ancora in piedi. Vi si accede attraverso una breve ma un po' ripida salita che parte dalla piazza della cattedrale. La gente solitamente si accapiglia per fare le foto seduta sulla panchina gigante che c'è alla sommità, ma sinceramente non ne vale la pena! Arrivati su il panorama è carino ma non certo mozzafiato (ampia distesa di panorama urbano e capannoni con striscia mare sullo sfondo), il percorso finisce sotto l'unico muro perimetrale ancora conservato e due grandi tubi di plastica fanno bella mostra di se (foto). Quanto alla panchina, generalmente è presa d'assalto o da orde di bambini e da ragazzetti che fumano... Diciamo che in zona ci sono attrazioni migliori!

(Translated by Google) Very naturalistic environment with a view of the Piazza del Duomo and the city of Pietrasanta. Too bad it's dirty and generally poorly maintained. Electrical panels dangerously open!! It could be used better. (Original) Ambiente naturalistico molto nello con vista sulla piazza del Duomo e sulla città di Pietrasanta. Peccato sia zozza e generalmente mal tenuta. Quadri elettrici pericolosamente aperti!! Potrebbe essere sfruttata meglio.

(Translated by Google) Pietrasanta Castle. There are no asphalt roads leading to it. I came from the north along the disappearing path and further through the ruins of the southern tower. There are no signs, but there are no prohibitory signs either. Inside there are very beautiful medieval ruins with excellent views of the coast. Built around 1255 on the site of the Rocca di Sala Lombard fortification. (Original) Замок Пьетрасанты. Асфальтовых дорог к нему нет. Зашел с севера по исчезающей тропе и далее через развалины южной башни. Указателей нет, но и запрещающих знаков нет. Внутри очень красивые средневековые развалины с отличным видом на побережье. Год постройки около 1255 года на месте укрепления Ломбардов Rocca di Sala.

(Translated by Google) I went up at 6:30 in the morning. I was the only one around Pietrasanta, but I enjoyed a splendid view 😍can you see it? (Original) Sono salita alle 6.30 di mattina. Ero l’unica in giro per Pietrasanta, ma mi sono goduta uno splendido paesaggio😍si vede?

(Translated by Google) Ancient fortress, beautiful. (Original) Antica rocca, bella.

Classic Tuscan cathedral with a crypt under the sanctuary. Stunning vault.

The church is lying in the middle of a small square with a very nice atmosphere. Looked like we were the only tourists here but maybe that's why it's so calm and we had our best gelato here.

Yoy could spen days her3. So much to see and amazing dhops and galleries.

Pietrasanta is a surprising small town, and this is a surprisingly interesting cathedral particularly for it's opulent interior that reflects the area's history and for the unfinished but intriguing bell tower. Venture into the dark interior of the cathedral and the further you walk, the light brightens, the rose window is revealed, and suddenly you recognize the enormous amount of detail in this out-of-the-way site. The Duomo is a site on the Via Francigena. While here, go around the corner to visit the jewel of a baptistry also.

Wonderful cathedral with wonderful paintings and marble pulpit inside.

Beautiful church to visit, sadly spoilt by jobs worth who instead of concentrating on his spiritual life was fixated on my shoulders. Seriously in this day and age!

It is located in the center of Pietrasanta, a city of art, with walking through it you can appreciate how they preserve the culture and there are plenty of picturesque places to sit and have an aperitif, between the Apuan Alps, the sea, the marble and the buildings full of history.

Very interesting museum, it is for free and they have amazing events in the evening!

Beautiful Museum and heart of DAP festival!! Come visit!

Well worth a visit. Free. interesting building and many gesso prototypes for marble statues

It's a fantastic place. There are many interesting works.

Boobas make eye go 👁️👁️

(Translated by Google) Pietrasanta, known as "Little Athens," is a cultural center. Here, in the Piazza del Duomo or at the former Augustinian Convent, exhibitions of artists, some of whom are world-renowned, often take place. These artists, among other things, have studios here in Pietrasanta, where they conceive, develop, and create their art. Then came the problem of where to store the sketches and preparatory models, and Pietrasanta solved it... with the Sketches Museum. It was 1984, and from an idea by Jette Mühlendorph, the "Pierluigi Gherardi" Sketches Museum was established in the former Augustinian Convent. Here, approximately 350 artists, including Fernando Botero; Pietro Cascella; Igor Mitoraj; Giò Pomodoro; and Giuliano Vangi (just to name a few... the first that come to mind) have left behind their ideas in the form of sketches and models. Moreover, as in all the city's museums, it is a museum where it is not necessary to pay an entrance fee... because in "Little Athens" art is a gift to the community that is found, not only in the museums, but also in the squares and on the roundabouts of the city. (Original) Pietrasanta, conosciuta come la "Piccola Atene", è centro di cultura. Qui, spesso, in Piazza del Duomo o presso l'Ex Convento Agostiniano rassegne di artisti anche famosi nel Mondo di arte moderna. Artisti, tra l'altro, che qui a Pietrasanta hanno bottega ed è sempre qui che pensano, sviluppano e realizzano la propria arte. Poi nasce il problema di dove conservare i bozzetti e i modelli preparatori e Pietrasanta l'ha risolto ... con il Museo dei Bozzetti. Era il 1984 e da un'idea di Jette Muhlendorph si concretizza, negli spazzi dell'Ex Convento Agostiniano, il Museo dei Bozzetti "Pierluigi Gherardi". Qui circa 350 artisti, tra cui Fernando Botero; Pietro Cascella; Igor Mitoraj; Giò Pomodoro; Giuliano Vangi (solo per nominare qualche nome ... i primi che mi vengono alla mente) hanno lasciato in dono sottoforma di bozzetti e modelli, le loro idee. Tra l'altro, come in tutti i Musei della Citta, è un Museo dove non è necessario pagare un biglietto ... perché nella "Piccola Atene" l'arte è un dono alla collettività che si trova, oltre nei Musei, nelle Piazze e sulle rotonde della Città.

Inside the Versiliana Park, the Villa was home of famous Italian writer and poet Gabriele D'Annunzio.

Parco Della Versiliana is for the whole family! Beautiful, educational, environmentally nutured.

Our dog loves this place. Everytime we tell him we're going to visit, he can't contain his excitement. Green oasis in the city.

It was closed for the day when I went but a very nice place to visit when in Forte dei Marmi.

The park is kept well ! You can even have an aperitif

Great place to be in nature and it is kept clean.

Great

Lovely outdoor theatre. Comfy seats and great view from all sets. Shame the local band playing could be heard but lovely event. Good sound system!

Beautiful but AWFUL accessibility. Noone thinks about people with disabilities. Rocks, grass and dirt... Impossible for people on a wheelchair to get around.

Beautiful place with many events all year long

Summer "Very interesting initiatives for adults and great park for kids" (this is what I wrote) Spring "one world: trash. Everywhere"

Stumbled upon this amazing gem during their Christmas craft weekend oh my goodness stunning place

La Versiliana is home for music, art and cultural events.

Top the gun !

Is it ever open?

(Translated by Google) A wonderful experience. We went to see the Caravaggio. I highly recommend it. (Original) Bellissima esperienza. Siamo andati a vedere il Caravaggio. Consiglio vivamente

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful! They take you into Caravaggio's world! Then the music! Very moving! The thing that I was disappointed about, although very beautiful, was that they didn't let you wear glasses for long! Anyway, I recommend it as an experience! (Original) Molto bello! Ti fanno entrare nel mondo di caravaggio! Poi le musiche! Molto emozionante! La cosa che mi è dispiaciuta anche se Molto bella che ti fanno stare poco con gli occhiali! Cmq La consiglio come esperienza!

(Translated by Google) The MuSA Virtual Museum of Sculpture is located in Pietrasanta, which can be considered the capital of marble. Pietrasanta is a municipality in the province of Lucca in Tuscany. It was founded in 1255, when the Milanese nobleman Guiscardo Pietrasanta, podesta of the Republic of Lucca, founded it in place of the Borgo called Sala. In addition to numerous artisan workshops, there are numerous art galleries. Given the proximity to the Apuan Alps, many world-famous artists work in this beautiful city, where you can admire their works. The MuSA illustrates the process of extracting marble, which is one of the main resources of the city. (Original) Il MuSA Museo Virtuale della scultura si trova a Pietrasanta, che puo' considerarsi la capitale del marmo.Pietrasanta e' un comune della provincia di Lucca in Toscana.Fu fondata nel 1255, quando il nobile milanese Guiscardo Pietrasanta podesta' della repubblica di Lucca,la fondo' al posto del Borgo chiamato Sala.Oltre a numerosi laboratori artigianali ci sono numerose gallerie d'arte.Data la vicinanza con le Apuane tanti artisti di fama mondiale operano in questa bella citta' dove si possono ammirare le loro opere.Nel MuSA viene illustrato il procedimento di estrazione del marmo che e' una delle principale risorse della citta'.

(Translated by Google) We saw the interactive exhibition on Caravaggio. It was truly beautiful. It was presented by an actor with a passion for art history, who gave such a beautiful interpretation of the paintings that it moved me. (Original) Abbiamo visto la mostra interattiva su Caravaggio. Veramente bellissima. È stata presentata da un attore innamorato della storia dell'arte, il quale ha dato un'interpretazione dei quadri talmente bella da farmi emozionare.

Super amazing and relaxing 🍀✨💫

Great place to relax. Very nice embankment, sandy beach, shallow coastal area

So nice calm place. Promenade and small shop, lovely Italian people. White marble every where looks very posh!

The view on the sunset was stunning, not too crowded for the Friday evening.

The place in which I think, relax, hear music . A magical place

Worldless!! You should go to Marina di Pietrasanta.

There are many works of art exibited on and around the bridge. The view towards the beaches is great. Really nice place to watch the fireworks show end of August.

Super expensive (they quoted us 210€ for 2 adults and a 4-yr-old), completely empty at prime time, and snobby staff. Steer clear if you're looking for a relaxing, beachside afternoon--there are better options nearby.

(Translated by Google) I only tried the restaurant: The professional waitresses Very good food, it's a shame that the prices are high and the quantity in the dishes is minimal €26 for 5 paccheri also not, to be reviewed (Original) Ho provato solo il ristorante: Le cameriere professioniali Cucina molto buona, peccato che i prezzi sono alti e la quantità nei piatti minimal 26€ per 5 paccheri anche no, da rivedere

(Translated by Google) Excellent bathing establishment in Forte dei Marmi, with a beautiful swimming pool on the beach and an adjoining restaurant, where you can eat very good quality fish. The only note is that the prices are not exactly popular. I recommend the experience. (Original) Ottimo stabilimento balneare a forte dei marmi, con una bella piscina sulla spiaggia ed un ristorante annesso, dove si mangia molto bene pesce di qualità. Unico appunto i prezzi non proprio popolari. Consiglio l'esperienza.

(Translated by Google) beautiful and elegant bathing establishment certainly expensive, but fully average in Versilia. the restaurant deserves a separate mention delicious dishes (Original) stabilimento balneare bello ed elegante sicuramente costoso , ma in piena media in Versilia. il ristorante merita una menzione a parte piatti deliziosi

(Translated by Google) Excellent sober beach establishment but with its own well-defined style. (Original) Ottimo stabilimento balneare sobrio ma con un suo stile ben definito.

(Translated by Google) Very expensive! (Original) Toll teuer!

(Translated by Google) In this bathroom you leave real life at the entrance and enter a holiday dream (Original) In questo bagno lasci la vita reale all'entrata e entri in un sogno vacanziero
