Castello del Piagnaro, named after the slate used in its construction, stands as a strategic stronghold guarding the city and communication routes. Originally built as a tower in the 10th century, it has been destroyed and rebuilt multiple times. The castle offers stunning views of the valley and town from its well-preserved fortress. Visitors can wander through alleys and streets leading to the castle, enjoying its remarkable illumination at night.
What a gem!! The castle is well kept and fun to explore. The exhibit/museum with the statutes is fantastic! We walked up and took the elevator down. Both easy options. The staff was nice and even had free audio in English. Very well put together and we were very pleased!

We decided to walk around the town and we ended up at a tunnel that ran under the castle and brought you to an elevator. That brought us to the castle and we walked around the outside. Very beautiful and very well kept area. It was $7 each but we were a bit early since it didn't open until ten so we just walked around the castle and slowly back towards town. There were many little hidden gems of streets and small bridges. It was a really nice walk and finished it off with stopping in the square for a cappuccino and gelato.
The castle hosts a very interesting museum on megalithic sculptures of the ancient inhabitants of the Lungian region: definetly worth a visit!
It is a genuine experience of a medieval castle with videos explaining the stele statues. With wonderful views across the town and the surrounding countryside. There is a lift at the end of via Garibaldi by Porta Parma for anyone who cannot face the challenge of the walk.
Don't listen to the person that wrote not to take the lift. The lift is free. Entrance to the castle is €2 and if you want to also visit the museum, then it's €8 total. Well worth a visit. The view is fab. Come during Medievalis... it's great fun.
Great location. The castle was restored, it's scenic but sadly empty. It hosts a display of menhir statues found in the Lunigiana area and dating back to the Bronze age/iron age 5000 years ago - fascinating monuments that guarded crossroads or river crossings. The menhirs are beautiful and the display inside the museum is scenic with great lighting. By entering the museum you will also get to go on the castle's ramparts, beautiful view over Pontremoli. Pity most of the so-called multimedia material are videos in Italian. Foreign visitors should ask for a discount IMHO
Beautiful decor. Waiter very attentive.
I loved visiting the castle while touring Pontremoli! Our tour guide Marco was so knowledgeable and pleasant, in fact he told us there was also the possibility to sleep there and a week later we came back and stayed the night!!!! One of the best and exciting experiences ever!!!! The rooms were clean and so were the shared bathrooms! We had the keys to the castle since they lock it at 7:30!! It is illuminated so beautifully at night and you are able to explore it all!! This experience is suitable for all ages and we were even allowed to bring our dog! Some rooms fit up to 20 people

The Museo delle Statue Stele Lunigianesi, located within the Castello del Piagnaro, offers a fascinating insight into the enigmatic artistic phenomenon of the Stele Statues. These male and female stone figures, dating back to the fourth and first millennium BC, boast abstract forms that are part of a significant prehistoric European art movement. The museum provides an elegant and evocative setting for these one-dimensional sculptures, which are considered important artifacts from the region's ancient past.
a beautiful museum that really details the origins of the Statue Stele culture. I was impressed by the castle and the way they used the medieval environment to add poetry and depth to the exhibition. Definitely worth visiting if you are interested in prehistorical items and in copper or iron-age cultures.

Very Interesting. I loved it. They have video displays in French, Italian and English and a lot of these wonderful statues. All of this is displayed in a castle that is interesting in and of itself.
Magnificent pre roman experience!
OMG, this is amazing!!!! Do yourself a favour and go to visit this gem! Marvellous, easy for the family with kids! Well Done
You can really discover history of Lunigiana's territory. Kind staff also :)
(Translated by Google) A pleasant surprise. A truly beautiful and well-preserved collection of stele statues. Well set up with lights that highlight the stonework. Interesting videos that accompany the museum tour, explaining the contents of the museum in a clear and detailed way.

Absolutely worth the visit.

The decoration of the curtains inside Saint Maria Del Popolòs Cathedral was exceptional, thanks to the time, patience, and willingness of the Bertolini brothers. Often, people overlook recognizing the deserving contributions made by individuals and instead focus on acknowledging those considered "masters of ceremonies." However, it is important to appreciate and value the efforts put forth by all who have contributed to enhancing the beauty and ambiance of this church.
(Translated by Google) Visited with my husband last week, we loved it. The exterior with the main entrance is quite simple, but as soon as you enter the door you immediately notice the great abundance of decorations, statues, furnishings, religious objects and so on, which make this place truly pleasing to the eye. Beautiful and particular is the reconstruction of the Via Crucis, the work of Mauro Fugacci, donated to this Cathedral at Easter 1999, preserved inside a wooden case.
(Original)
Visitata con mio marito la scorsa settimana, ci è molto piaciuta. L'esterno con l'entrata principale è abbastanza semplice, ma appena varcata la porta si nota subito la grande abbondanza di decorazioni, statue, suppellettili, oggetti religiosi e quant'altro, che rendono questo luogo davvero gradevole alla vista. Bella e particolare poi la ricostruzione della Via Crucis, opera di Mauro Fugacci, donata a questo Duomo nella Pasqua del 1999, conservata all'interno di una teca in legno.

Concattedrale di S. Maria Assunta ... né parlerò non appena possibile. Nel mentre carico le foto di un giorno che precede la Pasqua ... giorno di grande fermento.
(Translated by Google) The co-cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, known as the cathedral of Pontremoli or of Santa Maria del Popolo, is a small jewel that deserves to be visited.
(Original)
La concattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta, detta duomo di Pontremoli o di Santa Maria del Popolo è un piccolo gioiello che merita di essere visitato.
(Translated by Google) The Co-Cathedral of Pontremoli is a real wedding favor. The interior is truly sumptuous and recalls the splendor of when Pontremoli was the bishop's seat. The parish priest, Don Graziano, is truly an excellent person capable of gathering the people of God to himself!
(Original)
La Concattedrale di Pontremoli è una vera e propria bomboniera. L'interno è davvero sfarzoso e ricorda i fasti di quando pontremoli era sede vescovile. Il Parroco, Don Graziano, davvero un ottima persona in grado di radunare a sé il popolo di Dio!
(Translated by Google) The construction of the cathedral was decreed with a resolution of the General Council of Pontremoli on 7 July 1630 which established the erection of "a sumptuous, noble and capable temple of the people as much as possible (...) in the place where the church of Santa Maria di Piazza is ".
Based on a project provided in 1633 by the Cremonese architect Alessandro Capra, the works began in 1636 in the area obtained from the demolition of the ancient oratory of the Madonna del Popolo and other adjacent buildings, and were completed only in 1687. Recognized as an illustrious collegiate church in 1721 with a bull of Innocent III, consecrated by the bishop of Brugnato in 1723, the church was finally built in the cathedral on 4 July 1787 with a bull from Pius VI, at the time of the establishment of the diocese of Pontremoli. In 1988 it became co-cathedral of the diocese of Massa Carrara-Pontremoli.
The pipe organ of the co-cathedral was built in 1961 by the Balbiani-Vegezzi Bossi organ building company and expanded in 1977 by the Chichi organ building company. It is located partly on the choir loft on the counter-façade, partly in the two choirs facing each other in the middle of the nave. The instrument, with electric transmission, has three keyboards of 61 notes each and a concave-radial pedal board of 32.
(Original)
La costruzione della cattedrale fu decretata con deliberazione del Consiglio generale di Pontremoli del 7 luglio 1630 che stabiliva l'erezione di "un tempio sontuoso, nobile e capace del popolo quanto sia possibile (…) nel luogo ove è la chiesa di Santa Maria di Piazza".
Su progetto fornito nel 1633 dall'architetto cremonese Alessandro Capra, i lavori furono avviati nel 1636 nell'area ricavata dalla demolizione dell'antico oratorio della Madonna del Popolo e di altri edifici contigui, e furono ultimati solo nel 1687. Riconosciuta insigne collegiata nel 1721 con una bolla di Innocenzo III, consacrata dal vescovo di Brugnato nel 1723, la chiesa fu infine eretta in cattedrale il 4 luglio 1787 con una bolla di Pio VI, al momento dell'istituzione della diocesi di Pontremoli. Nel 1988 divenne concattedrale della diocesi di Massa Carrara-Pontremoli.
L'organo a canne della concattedrale è stato costruito nel 1961 dalla ditta organaria Balbiani-Vegezzi Bossi ed ampliato nel 1977 dalla ditta organaria Chichi. Esso è collocato in parte sulla cantoria in controfacciata, in parte nei due coretti contrapposti a metà della navata. Lo strumento, a trasmissione elettrica, ha tre tastiere di 61 note ciascuna ed una pedaliera concavo-radiale di 32.
(Translated by Google) The co-cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, or simply Duomo di Pontremoli or Santa Maria del Popolo, is the most important church in the city. It stands in Piazza del Duomo, or Piazza del Vescovato, in the historic centre. San Geminiano and Santa Rosa da Lima are co-owners of the cathedral and co-patrons of the city.

La concattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta, o semplicemente Duomo di Pontremoli o di Santa Maria del Popolo, è la chiesa più importante della città.

Nestled in the charming town of Pontremoli, Teatro della Rosa is a delightful gem that dates back to 1739, making it one of the oldest theaters in the province. Declared a Noble City by Grand Duke Leopold II in 1778 and later elevated to an episcopal see by Pope Pius VI, this small yet beautifully restored theater captures the essence of local culture. Visitors can enjoy guided tours upon request and appreciate its well-appointed meeting rooms that are perfect for gatherings.
Beautiful old theatre. Listened to some very talented young saxophonists. We were so sad the event wasn't better attended.

Nestled in the charming town of Pontremoli, Caffè e Pasticceria degli Svizzeri is a delightful spot that beautifully marries tradition with a cozy atmosphere. This historic café boasts stunning Liberty Style decor, complete with original oak paneling and elegant lighting that creates an inviting ambiance. Known for serving the best cappuccino in town, it’s the perfect place to unwind while savoring local delicacies like amor cakes and spongata during your visit.
We were in town for a day. Stumbled upon this Caffè on the Piazza. Had some tables left outside. It was a sunny day, so we took a seat. Our Bulldog was welcome as well.
Had some drinks and also the specialty here: the paste "amor". Very nice, crispy and the filling generous. Goes well with coffee.
Came back after a walk to grab some more drinks and also to eat some light snacks: one like a mini-pizza with anchovies, the other a small tarte filled with ham. Both delicous. Prices were fair, staff was friendly.
It's surely a nice place to grab some drinks and a bite and to enjoy the town views and the Piazza. A comfy spot.
Alex H — Google review
Stopped in for a quick cappuccino and ended up getting a focaccia bread and ham sandwich and a small pizza with anchovies both just $1.50. everything was delicious!!! Nice little spot and the square was a really nice spot too.
Amazingly tasty food.
Lemon cake, pistachio and house cream croissant.
Staff speak decent English.
There is no toilet seat 🤣
Great bar/café in central location. Friendly, patient staff, despite our limited Italian. Excellent coffee!
Plenty of seating choices, inside and out.
Service can be rather slow here, I highly recommend ordering and paying at the bar and only then get seated. Coffee is amazing though. This is how Italy tastes. The bustle of the main square is right on front of you while you sip a cup or two
Very nice old caffe shop, the,, Amor '' is delicious, reasonable prices ❤️
Best cappuccino we had in Europe. Sweet and authentic town square and wonderful gelato! Worth a stop for coffee and a moment to soak up authentic Italian culture.
Exactly as seen on tv. Definitely worth a visit!

Church
Nestled at the end of the main street in Pontremoli, the charming Oratorio di Nostra Donna stands as a stunning representation of Rococo architecture from the 18th century. Its interior is adorned with exquisite stuccos and sculptures, featuring two remarkable altarpieces: "Crucifixion" and "Madonna with Saints Cosma and Damiano," crafted by talented artists Alessandro Gherardini and Giuseppe Galeotti.
(Translated by Google) It's wonderful. Full of frescoes and statues, small and welcoming. Very unique. Full of history. I've always loved it.

Anche questo monumento dovrebbe essere bellissimo, ma è chiuso . Ore 10:05 del 13/9/2024
(Translated by Google) Crossing the Magra river across the Cesare Battisti Bridge, we arrive at another small village characterized by the Church of Nostra Donna.
The bridge is medieval, like the palace you see hidden by the church, while the oratory was rebuilt after the flood of 1732.
The church of Nostra Donna dates back to the 16th century, when the oratory was built, which was the seat of the "Compagnia di Nostra Donna del Castel di Pontremoli", then of the "Società dei Disciplinati della Beata Maria della Neve" and then of the "Confraternità della Concezione di Nostra Woman".
With the flood of 1732, the church, located right next to the Magra river, had to be rebuilt and the work was entrusted to Giovan Battista Natali who characterized it for his baroque style in the decoration of the large dome, the apse, the chapels , of the doors and balconies of the organ and the gallery.
Inside you can admire pictorial works by Galeotti, behind the first and second altars and by Gherardini, behind the third altar, as well as a precious period organ and sacred vestments from the 1700s.
(Original)
Oltrepassando il fiume Magra attraverso il Ponte Cesare Battisti, arriviamo ad un altro piccolo borgo caratterizzato dalla Chiesa di Nostra Donna.
Il ponte è medievale, come il palazzo che vedete nascosto dalla chiesa, mentre l'oratorio è stato ricostruito dopo l'alluvione del 1732.
La chiesa di Nostra Donna risale al XVI secolo, quando venne edificato l’oratorio sede della "Compagnia di Nostra Donna del Castel di Pontremoli", poi della "Società dei Disciplinati della Beata Maria della Neve" e quindi della "Confraternità della Concezione di Nostra Donna".
Con l’alluvione del 1732, la chiesa, posta proprio accanto al fiume Magra, dovette essere ricostrutita e l’opera fu affidata a Giovan Battista Natali che lo caratterizzò per il suo stile barocco nella decorazione della grande cupola, dell’abside, delle cappelle, delle porte e delle balconate dell’organo e della galleria.
All’interno si ammirano opere pittoriche del Galeotti, dietro il primo e il secondo altare e del Gherardini, dietro il terzo altare, così come un prezioso organo d’epoca e paramenti sacri del 1700.
(Translated by Google) This church is located in the historic center of Pontremoli. The church is one of the greatest examples of Rococo architecture.

Via Giuseppe Mazzini, 1, 54027 Pontremoli MS, Italy•
Torre del Cacciaguerra, also known as Campanone, is a massive bell tower built in 1322 by Castruccio Castracani. It was strategically positioned between the Cathedral square and the Republic square in Pontremoli to oversee and regulate the conflict between the Guelfs and Ghibellines. Originally named 'looking for a fight,' it later served as a civic tower.
(Translated by Google) Also called Campanone, it is a large bell tower built in 1322 by Castruccio Castracani. It was called "war hunting" because in theory it should have divided the Guelph and Ghibelline factions of the city.
It was subsequently transformed into a civic tower.
It is located in the historic center of Pontremoli and is very characteristic.
(Original)
Chiamata anche Campanone, è una grande torre campanaria fatta costruire nel 1322 da Castruccio Castracani. Era detta "cacciaguerra" perché in teoria avrebbe dovuto dividere le fazioni guelfe e ghibelline della città.
Successivamente fu trasformata in torre civica.
Si trova nel pieno centro storico di Pontremoli ed è molto caratteristica.

(Translated by Google) Also known as Campanone, it is located between the Cathedral square and the Republic square.
This imposing tower was designed to watch and control the two rival factions in the small town of Pontremoli.
(Original)
Nota anche come Campanone si trova tra la piazza della Cattedrale e quella della Repubblica.
Questa imponente torre fu ideata per guardare e controllare le due fazioni rivali nella piccola città di Pontremoli.
(Translated by Google) The Cacciaguerra tower, known as the Campanone, is located in the historic center of Pontremoli between the Duomo and Repubblica squares. Built in 1322 at the behest of Castruccio Castracani, it was part of a real fortress that separated the city in two, torn by internal struggles between the Guelphs and Ghibellines.
Until the beginning of the 14th century, the two current squares did not exist, but a large space open towards the Verde stream and closed towards the Magra by the ancient Town Hall. The fortress ran from the banks of the Verde to those of the Magra and was defended by three towers: the current Cacciaguerra tower was the central one, while nothing remains of the one on the Verde unlike the opposite one on the Magra.
The curtain had only one communication door corresponding to the current passage between the two central squares, demolished in the middle of the last century. The raising and transformation of the central tower into a bell tower dates back to the second half of the sixteenth century.
(Original)
La torre di Cacciaguerra, detta del Campanone, si trova nel nucleo storico di Pontremoli tra le piazze del Duomo e della Repubblica. Costruita nel 1322 per volere di Castruccio Castracani, faceva parte di una vera e propria fortezza che separava in due la città , lacerata dalle lotte intestine tra Guelfi e Ghibellini.
Fino agli inizi del XIV secolo non esistevano le due piazze attuali, ma un grande spazio aperto verso il torrente Verde e chiuso verso il Magra dall’antico palazzo del Comune. La fortezza correva dalle sponde del Verde a quelle della Magra ed era difeso da tre torri: di esse l’attuale torre Cacciaguerra era quella centrale, mentre nulla rimane di quella sul Verde al contrario di quella opposta sulla Magra.
La cortina aveva una sola porta di comunicazione in corrispondenza dell’attuale passaggio tra le due piazze centrali, demolita a metà del secolo scorso. Il rialzamento e la trasformazione della torre centrale in torre campanaria risale invece alla seconda metà del Cinquecento.

Bar
Bar Luciano is a charming spot located in the cathedral square, making it a popular choice for locals and visitors alike. The bar is known for its excellent aperitivo della casa, perfect for cooling off in the hot weather. While the service can be slow at times, the picturesque setting and proximity to the cathedral doors make it an ideal place to relax and enjoy a refreshing drink. Visitors rave about their signature cocktail, Bianco Oro, with its secret recipe dating back to 1977.
(Translated by Google) But how beautiful! We were in Pontremoli and came across this small typical place and fell in love straight away. Originality and typicality united together. Sitting in one of the most beautiful squares of the small town, we raffled off the Bianco oro, a revisited wine with a secret recipe. Phenomenal😍.
The prices are low and it's like taking a leap into the past.
I am of the opinion that characteristic places must regain life and vigor, no more globalization.

Ma che bello! Siamo stati a Pontremoli e ci siamo imbattuti in questo piccolo locale tipico e ci siamo innamorati fin da subito. Originalità e tipicità unite insieme.

I prezzi sono contenuti ed è come fare un salto nel passato.

(Translated by Google) The villa is private property and can only be visited with a guide who accompanies the guest for about an hour to discover the garden and interiors. The frescoes in the hall are beautiful, the other rooms are interesting and also retain the furnishings such as the library, the red living room and the bedrooms. The internal garden with a small nymphaeum is curious. By request of the owners it is possible to take photographs only outside and in the lounge. There are no toilets and it is not possible to leave the car near the entrance of the villa due to lack of parking; you must therefore park in the car park near the bridge and walk for about 800 meters to the entrance.
(Original)
La villa è proprietà privata e si può visitare esclusivamente con guida che accompagna l’ospite per circa un’ora alla scoperta del giardino e degli interni. Belli gli affreschi del salone, interessanti gli altri ambienti che conservano anche gli arredi come la biblioteca, il salotto rosso e le camere da letto. Curioso il giardino interno con un piccolo ninfeo. Per volontà della proprietà è possibile fotografare solo all’esterno e nel salone. Non sono presenti servizi igienici e non è possibile lasciare l’auto vicino all’ingresso della villa per mancanza di parcheggio; occorre quindi parcheggiare nel parcheggio vicino al ponte e camminare per circa 800 metri fino all’ingresso.
(Translated by Google) Beautiful villa, truly sumptuous and captivating interiors. At the entrance are two enchanting Lebanese cedars from 1860, and the gardens are beautiful. A special thanks goes to Ilaria, a cheerful young woman with a beautiful smile, empathetic, professional, and polite, who accompanied us impeccably on this beautiful journey. If you're in the area, you can't miss it. There's no parking near the villa; you have to walk about 800 meters from the bridge, but it's definitely worth it.

Se siete in zona non potete non visitarla. Non c’è parcheggio vicino alla villa, bisogna percorrere circa 800 metri dal Ponte, ne vale davvero la pena.

We were fortunate to have the opportunity to visit the Chiesa della Santissima Annunziata, a beautiful place of worship along the Via Francigena. Thanks to a dedicated and knowledgeable volunteer, we were able to gain access and receive a thorough explanation of the treasures housed within this Marian sanctuary. The passion and expertise demonstrated by our guide allowed us to fully appreciate the significance of each jewel that adorned this sacred space.
(Translated by Google) A surprise, a church of great importance, along the Via Francigena: a surprise also because it is a little appreciated jewel in the municipality of Pontremoli. It is a sanctuary built on the place where the apparitions of the Virgin to a little girl took place in 1470. It was a place with a notable influx of pilgrims where an important communication route passed between the north of the peninsula and Florence. It has considerable dimensions, with a single nave and a significantly raised presbytery and inside there is a small marble temple by Sansovino (1527) dedicated to the Virgin Annunziata. A true treasure: inside there is a beautiful altar, behind which in a niche (you have to kneel down to see it) there is a 15th century fresco with the scene of the Annunciation, found next to the remains of the ancient Via Francigena. But another precious treasure chest of works of art is found in the sacristy: wardrobes, inlaid wooden benches dating back to 1676 and frescoes from the vault by Francesco Natali, a masterpiece! They give the impression of creating the illusion of space opening beyond the ceiling with extraordinarily nuanced colors. The facade is of excellent workmanship with interventions by the "Comacine masters". Unfortunately this sacred place is owned by the state which is not concerned with preserving this site with the two splendid cloisters of the convent. A real shame! But, with great amazement, I accidentally visited this precious church when a person who doesn't know much about art and history (no less than the director of the Uffizi in Florence) made a thorough visit to this precious place. A highly trained expert (volunteer) also guided us to visit the works. Unforgettable meeting! (Double)
(Original)
Una sorpresa , una chiesa di grande importanza, lungo la via Francigena : sorpresa anche perché è un gioiello poco valorizzato nel comune di Pontremoli. È un santuario costruito sul luogo dove nel 1470 avvennero le apparizioni della Vergine ad una bambina. Si trattava di un luogo con notevole affluenza di pellegrini dove passava una importante via di comunicazione tra il nord della penisola e Firenze. Presenta notevoli dimensioni, con una navata unica e un presbiterio notevolmente rialzato e all'interno è conservato un tempietto marmoreo opera del Sansovino (1527) dedicato alla Vergine Annunziata. Un vero tesoro: all'interno c'è un bell'altare, dietro il quale in una nicchia ( bisogna inginocchiarsi per vederlo) si trova un affresco del XV con la scena dell''Annunciazione, ritrovata accanto ai resti dell'antica via Francigena. Ma un altro prezioso scrigno di opere d'arte si trova nella sagrestia: armadi, banchi di legno intarsiato risalenti al 1676 e affreschi della volta di Francesco Natali, un capolavoro! Danno l'impressione di creare l'illusione dello spazio che si apre oltre il soffitto con colori straordinariamente sfumati. La facciata è di ottima fattura con interventi dei "maestri comacini" . Purtroppo questo luogo sacro è di proprietà dello stato che non si occupa di preservare questo sito con i due splendidi chiostri del convento. Un vero peccato! Ma , con grande stupore, casualmente, ho visitato questa preziosa chiesa quando un personaggio che di arte e storia né sa tanta, (nientemeno del direttore degli Uffizi di Firenze )ha fatto una visita accurata di questo prezioso luogo. Un preparatissimo esperto ,( volontario)ci ha guidato anche alla visita delle opere . Indimenticabile incontro! (Doppio)

(Translated by Google) The Sanctuary dedicated to the Madonna was built at the end of the fifteenth century after several apparitions to a shepherdess. It is located on Via Nazionale della Cisa. Very impressive upon entering is the elevated presbytery, very simple but rich in an octagonal marble temple. On the sides are several chapels with paintings and statues in excellent condition.
(Original)
Il Santuario dedicato alla Madonna è stato costruito alla fine del quattrocento dopo diverse apparizioni ad una pastorella. Si trova sulla Via Nazionale della Cisa. Molto d'effetto entrando il presbitero sopraelevato, molto semplice ma ricca di un tempietto marmoreo ottagonale. Ai lati diverse cappelle con dipinti e statue in ottimo stato di conservazione.
(Translated by Google) Very impressive church from the outside, the interior is a little bare but really beautiful, the internal temple with the ancient fresco which can only be seen by kneeling

Chiesa molto imponente dall’esterno, l’interno un po’ spoglio ma veramente bello il tempietto interno con l’antico affresco che può essere visto solo inginocchiandosi
(Translated by Google) After exiting the Pontremoli motorway toll booth, head north towards the capital. After traveling about a kilometre, at the bridge we turn right and shortly afterwards we find ourselves in front of the church. To park, use the raised square next to it. Also worth visiting is the small village with the characteristic appearance of the houses overlooking the narrow road.

Dopo essere usciti dal casello autostradale di Pontremoli, si prende la direzione nord verso il capoluogo. Dopo aver percorso circa un chilometro, al ponte si gira a destra e poco dopo ci troviamo di fronte alla chiesa. Per parcheggiare utilizzare la piazzetta rialzata al suo fianco. Da visitare anche il piccolo borgo con il caratteristico aspetto delle abitazioni prospicienti la stretta viabilità.
(Translated by Google) Very particular church, altar placed above a staircase, there is a temple of the Madonna pista on the Via Francigena, not to be missed. Like the wooden sacristy built by a friar. It is definitely worth a visit and if you are lucky enough to meet the Priest he will be your guide and it will be a spectacular encounter....

(Translated by Google) Medievalis Pontremoli: A Dive into the Middle Ages
I've been to Medievalis in Pontremoli and I have to say it's a fantastic event! It's not your typical festival, but a true historical reenactment, meticulously crafted down to the smallest detail.
Atmosphere: As soon as you enter the historic center, you immediately feel transported back to the Middle Ages. The costumed figures, flags, and displays make you forget you're in 2025.
Shows: The duels, jugglers, and fire-eaters are a spectacle! There's always something to see, and you never get bored.
Food and Shopping: The taverns offer themed food and drinks, and the market is perfect for purchasing unique artisanal products.
Tip: If you go, don't miss the reenactment of the investiture of Frederick II in Pontremoli. It's the highlight of the event and definitely worth the effort.
A highly recommended experience for families and history buffs! I'll definitely be back next year.
(Original)
Medievalis Pontremoli: Un Tuffo nel Medioevo
Sono stato a Medievalis a Pontremoli e devo dire che è un evento fantastico! Non è la solita sagra, ma una vera e propria rievocazione storica curata nei minimi dettagli.
Atmosfera: Appena entri nel centro storico ti senti subito catapultato nel Medioevo. I figuranti in costume, le bandiere e gli allestimenti ti fanno dimenticare di essere nel 2025.
Spettacoli: I duelli, i giocolieri e i mangiafuoco sono uno spettacolo! C'è sempre qualcosa da vedere, e non ti annoi mai.
Cibo e shopping: Le taverne offrono cibo e bevande a tema, e il mercatino è perfetto per comprare prodotti artigianali unici.
Consiglio: Se andate, non perdetevi la rievocazione dell'investitura di Federico II a Pontremoli. È il momento clou dell'evento e vale davvero la pena.
Un'esperienza consigliatissima per famiglie e appassionati di storia! Ci tornerò sicuramente l'anno prossimo.
(Translated by Google) Honestly, I had high expectations, but I didn't find any great shows, and the only noteworthy performance was a 15-minute medieval reconstruction. It felt more like a market to me, given the number of stalls and, most importantly, all the activities open...nothing special. Personally, I much preferred the Medieval Filetto, with its many interesting shows, including fire-eaters, battles between men-at-arms, flag-throwers, and falconers. Plus, the villagers prepare food for visitors. There's an entrance fee, but it's worth it.
(Original)
Sinceramente avevo molte aspettative ma non ho trovato grandi spettacoli e l' unica adegna di nota una ricostruzione medioevale di 15 minuti. Mi è sembrato più un mercato vista la quantità di bancarelle e soprattutto ci sono tutte le attività aperte...nulla di caratteristico. A me personalmente è piaciuto molto di più Filetto medioevale con tanti spettacoli molto interessanti tra mangiafuoco battaglie tra armigeri, sbandieratori e falconieri. Inoltre sono i paesano che fanno da mangiare per i visitatori. Si paga l' ingresso ma ne vale la pena.
(Translated by Google) A beautiful medieval reenactment in the splendid setting of Pontremoli. This annual festival is held during these festive days in mid-August, featuring parades in period costume, battles, songs, and horseback battles. On the final night, a sensational fireworks display awaits. I recommend everyone spend at least one evening in Pontremoli during this event.

Bellissima rievocazione medievale nel contesto splendido di Pontremoli. Durante questi giorno festivi di metà Agosto ogni anno viene celebrata questa rassegna che contempla sfilate in vestiti d'epoca, battaglie, canti e battaglie a cavallo.

Bridge
Nestled in the charming town of Pontremoli, the Ponte della Crësa is a stunning historical bridge that gracefully spans the Verde River with its four elegant stone arches. Originally constructed in wood back in the 1300s, this picturesque structure has undergone numerous reconstructions due to damage from floods and sieges over the centuries. It serves as one of the main gateways into Pontremoli, particularly for those arriving from Piacenza.
(Translated by Google) Along the Via Degli Abati is "the Bridge" that you cross to actually enter Pontremoli.

(Translated by Google) The Roman bridge of Cresa is beautiful with its arches.
It was built near the Porta della Betulla, one of the five entrances to the fortified village.
Its construction dates back to 1219, like the bridge of the same name below.
Its structure was formerly made of wood, on masonry piles, and was built with masonry arches after 1391.
Suffering many flood phenomena in the years 1567 / 1569, the bridge was rebuilt on the previous one. An interesting structure and historical testimony, very beautiful!

La sua struttura anticamente era in legno, su pile in muratura, venne fatto con archi in muratura dopo il 1391.
Subendo molte fenomeni alluvionali negli anni 1567 / 1569 il ponte venne ricostruito su quello precedente. Un interessante struttura e testimonianza storica, molto bello!

When exploring the town, you can't miss the Campanone, which is the central tower of the Cazzaguerra fortress curtain wall. This historic tower, dating back to the 14th century, serves as a prominent symbol of the city. Originally part of a curtain wall built by Castruccio Castracani degli Antelminelli to separate warring factions in the city, it was later converted into a bell tower in 1578.

We had a great time going down this gorge. Definitely worth a visit!
The water is cold, but not freezing. But it is summer right now and 36 degrees outside.
There's really no need for a tour guide, you can just drive down the road, follow the signs and you'll find the river. It's well signposted.
Follow it upstream and you'll see some great places.
Once you get to the waterfall there are 2 more corners to take, that's more or less where it ends.
A good idea is to take a waterproof bag for your stuff. Shoes are a good idea too, I did it in slippers which wasn't ideal.

27/9...update.. the river passes a large field that has sheep and horses. It also has two white labradore dogs that are serving as sheepdogs. These dogs might be on the path, or come to check you out once they sense you. One of them is very shouty and will bark at you. If you are nervous with dogs, this might be upsetting. However, we just stay still and the dogs lose interest once they figure out you are not a threat to the sheep, and will leave. Stay calm.
Another cool day in 38F Toscana.
Leave car on road and walk the 1km in. You can get closer, but it's all rock.
Necessary to take river bed in at first but then you can pick up path.
Relatively easy in. Children ok. Lots of places /pools along the way to claim for the day.
The Gorges of Giaredo is a beautiful and exciting place to visit. The teenagers were busy exploring the place the whole afternoon. Water is slightly cold (just below 20?) but nice for a quick swim with Swedish standards.
When entering the area we drove down a private dust road last 500 m. When leaving, the road was blocked by an upset man who pointed out that the road is private. It would of course be great if the municipality could arrange proper access to the area considering there are good directions and road signs where to go. I’m also puzzled why the owner doesn’t pave the waste land and offers parking lots for a few euros. It’s a no brainer in my opinion.
At some point the signs showing to the gorge disappear and the path goes through a private property. There two sheepdogs started barking and running towards us. Didn’t reach the destination, got really scared, but the valley itself is at least really beautiful..
You can’t access it from the side which google maps suggest - property before the gorge is surrounded with electric fence…
A family purchased the land and put up “private property” signs everywhere. The main path to get there is now closed to the public. Locals said you can still get there by walking up the riverbed. Very disappointing.
Great location if you are looking for a cool water spot for baby and toddler. There is shade along the river, the water wasn't deep in august. You may want to park at the parking lot instead of along the road, it's easier to get out afterwards. Form the parking lot it's about 10 min walk.
I have been to waterfalls and hidden places like this before but they came out of a friend's recommendation. Here the comune di Pontremoli actually advertises this place to tourists, however is very awkward to reach as there is no clear path. You will have to cross the river and walk up in the water. The road has crumbled and parts have been bulldozed leaving the place rough and full of debris. There is an adjacent private property, actually only ruins, with nasty DON'T ENTER signs and electrified wire to stop you going through there, we have been actually chased away from the owner, who was watching from the hill. I have seen a foreign couple adventuring there with a baby. To me a place like this should not be advertise to people as they might injure themselves trying to get there. If you eventually get there the canyon is beautiful. But hey it is a hell of a hike.

Nestled in a serene and somewhat secluded location, Mulino La Serra offers an enchanting escape for those seeking a delightful culinary experience. The charming owner, Mr. Giuseppe, is known for his warm hospitality and willingness to go the extra mile for guests, even waiting patiently if they happen to take a wrong turn. Visitors rave about the exceptional wines produced on-site, alongside delicious meals that showcase local flavors.
Fantastic gf meal with excellent red wine and grappa, all home produced, in a lovely setting.
Michele C — Google review
(Translated by Google) We had dinner at this farmhouse and were enchanted, the place is very beautiful and well looked after. The excellent cuisine, from the appetizer to the dessert, all delicious and of high quality, we were amazed by the goodness of the raw porcini mushrooms cut very fine and seasoned.
Worth highlighting is the wine, excellent. We tasted a white, the Lagrá, a must try, and the barricaded black.
To our great appreciation, the owner showed us the ancient millstones and the very well preserved oil mill, he also briefly illustrated the wines he produces with evident passion. Finally, our compliments go to the kindness of the Lady who served and advised us.
The prices are absolutely not expensive but fair and adequate for the quality of the food that we pleasantly enjoyed.
Next time we are in Pontremoli we will probably try to stay here, they have 4 lovely rooms.
(Original)
Abbiamo cenato in questo agriturismo e siamo rimasti incantati, il locale è molto bello e ben curato. La cucina ottima, dall'antipasto al dolce tutto buonissimo e di alta qualità, siamo rimasti stupiti dalla bontà dei porcini crudi tagliati finissimi e conditi.
Da sottolineare il vino, eccellente. Abbiamo assaggiato un bianco, il Lagrá, assolutamente da provare e il nero barricato.
Il proprietario con nostro grande apprezzamento ci ha fatto vedere le antiche macine e il frantoio conservati benissimo, ci ha anche illustrato brevemente i vini che produce con evidente passione. Infine i nostri complimenti vanno alla gentilezza della Signora che ci ha servito e consigliato.
I prezzi non sono assolutamente cari ma giusti ed adeguati alla qualità del cibo che abbiamo piacevolmente gustato.
La prossima volta che ci recheremo a Pontremoli probabilmente proveremo a soggiornare qui, hanno 4 camere deliziose.
(Translated by Google) Fantastic place, fantastic owner explained everything in an excellent way. We were on a Saturday at 6pm, he had no problem at all, very very helpful. I highly recommend. We and friends didn't eat but bought some excellent wine.

Posto fantastico, proprietario fantastico ha spiegato tutto in modo eccellente. Siamo stati un sabato alle 18, non ha fatto nessun problema anzi molto molto disponibile. Consiglio vivamente. Noi con amici non abbiamo mangiato ma acquistato dell ottimo vino.
(Translated by Google) Given that I ended up at Mulino la Serra, invited by friends, during the post-Covid-19 pre-opening, so the conditions of the place were "under construction". The location is very nice, a little isolated, outside the town but quiet and relaxing. The room, taking into account the age of the building, was clean and comfortable, spacious and equipped with all the necessary services and was welcoming and adequate. The owner runs the business with passion and is a pleasant and forward-thinking person. I had the opportunity to taste the cuisine for dinner and found it simple and genuine with dishes that were not particularly refined but pleasant and light. Excellent wines. Prices more than fair. Overall I was fine. I did not assign 5 stars because in fact the maintenance of the outside left a little to be desired but, as mentioned, I happened a little too early compared to the summer season ...
(Original)
Premesso che sono capitato al Mulino la Serra, invitato da amici, durante la pre-apertura post Covid-19, quindi le condizioni del locale erano "in allestimento". La location è molto carina, un pò isolata, fuori dal paese ma tranquilla e rilassante. La camera, tenuto conto della vetustà dell'edificio, era pulita e confortevole, spaziosa e fornita di tutti i servizi necessari è risultata accogliente e adeguata. Il proprietario conduce l'attività con passione ed è una persona gradevole e lungimirante. Ho avuto modo di assaggiare la cucina per cena e l'ho trovata semplce e genuina con piatti non particolarmente ricercati ma gradevoli e leggeri. Ottimi i vini. Prezzi più che onesti. In buona sostanza sono stato bene. Non ho assegnato 5 stelle perchè in effetti la manutenzione dell'esterno lasciava un pò a desiderare ma, come detto, sono capitato lì un pò troppo presto rispetto alla stagione estiva...
(Translated by Google) What a fantastic place with delicious wines and a lovely man! We did a tasting and bought some wine. The service was excellent, with local food to go with it.
(Original)
Wat een fantastische plek met heerlijke wijnen en een fijne man! We hebben een proeverij gedaan en wijn gekocht. Goed verzorgd met lokaal eten erbij.
(Translated by Google) The mill still exists not far from the bed of the Verde river, with its machinery for grinding grain and the stone tanks for collecting oil, rare finds to find so intact. Well renovated farmhouse and delicious food from both land and sea (made to order). Local wines at the top. Prices in line with the agritourism restaurants in the area.
(Original)
Il mulino esiste ancora poco distante dal greto del fiume Verde, con i suoi macchinari per macinare le granaglie e le vasche in pietra per la raccolta dell'olio, reperti rari da trovare così integri. Agriturismo ben ristrutturato e cibo buonissimo sia di terra che di mare (su ordinazione). Vini locali al top. Prezzi in linea con la ristorazione agrituristica della zona.
(Translated by Google) Mr. Giuseppe was very kind; even though we took the wrong turn, he waited for us for an hour. The wines were very good, the service was excellent, and the food was also very good! We will definitely be back!

Il signor Giuseppe è stato molto gentile , nonostante avessimo sbagliato strada ci ha aspettate per un’ora. I vini erano molto buoni, servizio ottimo e anche il cibo era molto buono! Ritorneremo sicuramente 😊

Waterfalls
It is advised to avoid following the directions of Google Maps towards the hilltop and a specific path, as it leads to certain death. Instead, upon reaching Pracciola village, visitors should park near a stream and tourist information sign. They can then proceed by tracing white paint marks on buildings and trees through the village along a mule track, eventually descending onto a single-track path.
Well worth the 40 minute hike in to see falls.
Park in village, head towards church to pick up signs for cascate (falls).
Once outside of village, path becomes increasingly narrow and is often obstructed by fallen trees. Path also suffers from slides which take away most of path. Note that this is a single person path, with ravine immediately to one side and steep banks on other, so manouvering requires thought.
Last part of hike is in the stream, across rocks.
If you've the urge to relieve you, or your child, please take your bathroom tissue with you. I know you cannot find a discrete place on this narrow ravine path, but it is very off-putting to see used toilet tissue along the path. You cart it away for your dogs, so do the same for your waste.
Paolo ( — Google review
Best place found in the Lunigiana area. Worth the 40 minutes hiking
Do not follow google maps to the top of the hill and a path ...its leads to certain death. When you reach Pracciola village park on the bend you will see a stream and a tourist info sign. Follow the white paint marks on buildings trees through the village along the mule track then down on the single track path. It takes 30 mins to get to the waterfall on some narrow paths and along the riverbed with its large uneven boulders.l. Probably not suitable for those with bad mobility problems nor young kids who can walk themselves...its probably too far/dangerous. The water in the cascata is really quite cold. Get there early am so the sun is on the pool. By early afternoon because of the steep sides the pool is in shade and not quite as magical.
We tried to visit but couldn't find the trailhead or how to get there.
Worthy of Odin
(Translated by Google) I corrected the name to the real name.... Cascate del Piscio.
Piscio waterfalls and Colombara bridge can be done in a single route.
The route is divided into two parts.
The first part is the part that reaches the Colombaia bridge, this part is very short and very pretty, the bridge has been recently restored and next to it there is now a fountain, we decided to go down and also see the waterfall from under the bridge be careful if you do it, the route is not the best maintained.
The second part is the main one that pushed us to get here, starting from the village of Pancocchia we decided to take the path that led to the Piscio waterfalls. The path is very simple and linear, difficult to miss the only crossroads that presents itself it is well marked and you have to turn left, in a couple of places the path has small landslides but nothing that cannot be overcome.
During the route to the waterfall you also pass near another waterfall that I would have liked to visit but the weather wasn't in very good shape and this time I decided to move on as the descent would have been not exactly orthodox once you reached the waterfalls, there are numerous places where we can sit and take a bath is a must as the water is crystal clear and the waterfalls are wonderful, we will definitely return to this place.
(Original)
Ho corretto il nome nel vero nome.... Cascate del Piscio.
Cascate del Piscio e ponte della Colombara sono fattibili in un unico percorso,.
Il percorso si divide in due parti.
La prima parte nella parte che arriva al ponte della Colombaia, questa parte è molto corta ed è molto carina il ponte è stato restaurato di recente e accanto adesso vi è una fontana, noi abbiamo deciso di scendere e vedere anche la cascata da sotto il ponte state attenti se lo fate il percorso non è dei meglio tenuti.
La seconda parte è quella principale che ci ha spinto ad arrivare fin qua, partendo dal paesino di pannocchia abbiamo deciso di intraprendere il sentiero che portava alle Cascate del piscio, Il sentiero è molto semplice e lineare difficile da perdersi l'unico bivio che si presenta è ben segnato e si deve girare a sinistra,in un paio di punti il sentiero presenta delle piccole frane ma niente che non si possa superare.
Durante il percorso per la cascata si passa anche al vicino a un'altra cascata che mi sarebbe piaciuto visitare ma in meso non era messo benissimo e per questa volta ho deciso di passare oltre visto che la discesa sarebbe stata non proprio ortodossa arrivati alle cascate, vi sono numerosi posti dove sederci e fare un bagno è d'obbligo in quanto l'acqua è cristallina e le cascate meravigliose, torneremo sicuramente in questo posto.
(Translated by Google) We begin by parking the car along the road, crossing the small, very characteristic village of Pracchiola, and following the signs for the waterfall. A beautiful trail, more difficult towards the end but not demanding, leads to this beautiful waterfall. Its natural pool invites us to take a refreshing dip, but this adjective is a bit tight because the water is truly freezing, even in August. There are other pools further down where you can swim, with water temperatures a little more manageable. In conclusion, a truly beautiful place where the summer heat is a distant memory...
(Original)
Cominciamo parcheggiando l auto lungo la strada ,si attraversa il piccolo borgo di Pracchiola ,molto caratteristico e seguendo l indicazioni cascata si arriva attraverso un bel sentiero più difficile nella parte finale ma non impegnativo , a questa bella cascata che con la sua vasca naturale ci invita a fare un bel bagno rinfrescante ma questo aggettivo gli sta un po stretto perché l acqua è veramente gelata anche in agosto.Ci sono più in basso altre vasce dove fare il bagno con la temperatura dell acqua un po più abbordabile. Concludendo un gran bel posto dove il caldo estivo rimane un ricordo...
(Translated by Google) The trail has some fairly challenging sections, but it's doable. It's a thirty-minute walk, but it's worth it. It's truly a fantastic place, and despite it being August 15th, it wasn't terribly crowded.
(Original)
Sentiero con qualche punto abbastanza impegnativo ma fattibile. Una trentina di minuti a piedi ma ne vale la pena. Veramente un posto fantastico e nonostante fosse il 15 di Agosto non tanto affollato

Nestled in the charming Piazzetta di San Geminiano, the Chiesa di San Geminiano is a delightful gem that beautifully marries history and devotion. This ancient yet well-preserved church serves as a testament to the rich heritage of Pontremoli, dedicated to its patron saint. Visitors are often captivated by its serene atmosphere and stunning seventeenth-century architecture.
San Geminiano is my favourite church in Pontremoli. It has a timeless feel about it. Don't miss th painting to the right of the altar with a detail of Pontremoli beset by flood and tempest. Outside in the Piazzetta is where Frederick 2 had his minister Piero della Vigna's eyes put out.

The Church of St. Nicholas holds a special place in the hearts of many locals, as it has been the backdrop for numerous significant life events such as baptisms, first communions, weddings, and even the baptisms of their children. It serves as a spiritual anchor and a hub for social activities within the community. This historic church is also celebrated for its Baroque artistry, making it a gem in the city of Pontremoli.

Nice little church in this small sleepy town in the mountains.
The interior is nice
(Translated by Google) Of Benedictine origin, the facade is plastered in a simple and antique style.
Unfortunately it was closed.
(Original)
Di origine benedettina la facciata è intonacata semplice ed in stile antico.
Purtroppo era chiusa.
(Translated by Google) When you were baptized in this Church, the parish priest raised you spiritually, gave you your first communion, married you, when your children were also baptized here, it is difficult to be objective in your evaluation. A Church that identifies perfectly with the neighborhood of which it has remained the only meeting point also for social activities. An almost millenary history for the oldest neighborhood at the foot of the Castle, with a black Christ of mysterious origins and a priceless treasure: the hearts of the parishioners that you will see explode on the occasion of the San Nicolò bonfire every 17 January. We are waiting for you.
(Original)
Quando sei stato battezzato in questa Chiesa, il parroco ti ha spiritualmente allevato, ti ha impartito la prima comunione, ti ha sposato, quando anche i tuoi figli sono stati qui battezzati, è difficile essere obbiettivi nella valutazione. Una Chiesa che si identifica perfettamente con il quartiere di cui è rimasta l'unico punto di aggregazione anche per le attività sociali. Una storia quasi millenaria per il quartiere più antico ai piedi del Castello, con un Cristo nero dalle origini misteriose e un tesoro inestimabile: il cuore dei parrocchiani che vedrete esplodere in occasione del falò di San Nicolò ogni 17 gennaio. Vi aspettiamo.

Nestled in the charming town of Pietrasanta, Big Bench #109 is a delightful spot that offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. This oversized bench, part of a larger project celebrating unique seating around Italy, boasts a lovely yet slightly weathered color that adds to its charm. A short 10-minute hike from the main square leads you to this picturesque vantage point near an ancient fortress.
A steep ascend well worth the effort!
Claudio P — Google review
Overtourism, soft tourism or no tourist at all? Unfortunately, dirty place with spectacular view…
Great for an upper view of Tuscany Coast
Very big bench that will make your pictures hilarious:) nice view of pietrasanta
Definitely worth it !
Wow 🤩
(Translated by Google) Bench forming part of the big bench project, a little old in need of repainting, pleasant and delicate color on a spectacular city panorama of Pietrasanta. It can be reached on foot in a short 10.mijuto climb towards the fortress, from the main square of Pietrasanta. You can park in the town with a free short-term stay of 1 hour or for a fee. Attention, no yellow lines, and always be vigilant in checking the town. Unfortunately, the restaurant that places the stamp was closed at 11 in the morning, it would be advisable to provide the stamp to the tourist office opposite, which has more acceptable opening hours.
(Original)
Panchina facente parte delle big bench project,un po' vecchiotta da riverniciare , colore gradevole e delicato su un panorama cittadino spettacolare di Pietrasanta . Si raggiunge a piedi in una breve salita di 10.mijuto verso la rocca ,dalla piazza principale di Pietrasanta . Si può parcheggiare in paese con sosta breve gratuita 1h oppure a pagamento . Attenzione non strisce gialle , e vigili sempre in controllo per il paese . Purtroppo la località ristornate che pone il timbro era chiuso alle 11 del mattino ,sarebbe opportuno fornire il timbro all'ufficio turistico di fronte , che ha orari più accettabili .
(Translated by Google) Beautiful like all the big Benches. The view is worth it. It could use a bit of renovation and a bit of cleaner maintenance.

Bella come tutte le big Bench. Merita il panorama. Andrebbe un po' ristrutturata e tenuta un po' più pulita.
