Through Lunigiana flows the ancient Via Francigena. This region extends from the mouth of the Magra River to the Apennines. Lunigiana has a rich mediaeval history of castles, ancient villages of extraordinary beauty and Romanesque churches that dot the landscape making it difficult to choose what to see. Added to this temptation is the wealth of ancient and historical architecture that dates back to prehistoric and middle ages. The Pontremoli museum houses statues dating back to as long as 3000 BC. Lunigiana is also well known for its cuisine as well as ‘trattories’ that have been instrumental in maintaining the old culinary traditions of Italian cuisines.
