The church, which was erected in 884 by Adalberto di Toscana, with the castle and hospital, was the first of many churches rebuilt from the remains of an alleged Roman settlement. In 1050, it was dedicated to Saint Caprasio, a hermit saint from the Lérins islands, off the coast of Provence. Its grave has remained hidden for centuries until recent excavations gave us back an extraordinary archaeological and cultural site. It houses the Museum and the Grave of Saint Caprasio.

The Brunella Fortress is an imposing Renaissance fortification located at the confluence of the Magra River and the Aulella stream, in a commanding position on a high, dark rocky spur overlooking the historic center of Aulla and enabling it to control all the main roads and Apennine passes. Its origins are still shrouded in mystery: its patrons include names of illustrious figures of the time, such as Adamo Centurione and Giovanni dalle Bande Nere. In the early 20th century Brunella was renovated by the English Waterfield family, which used it as a luxurious residence. In 1977 it was purchased by the state and earmarked by the City of Aulla to house the Lunigiana Museum of Natural History.

The Castle of Piagnaro is located on a hill overlooking the historic centre of Pontremoli, an integrating element in the city’s defensive system along with the walls and towers that protected the medieval hamlet. Constructed around the year 1000 for defensive purposes and to oversee the roads, on various occasions it has acted as the last stronghold safeguarding the citizens of Pontremoli; its name derives from the “piagne”, sandstone slabs traditionally used in Lunigiana to construct roofs, which can still be seen today within the structure.

The stele statues, found in Lunigiana, represent the most ancient and mysterious wealth of this land. The museum of the stele statues of Lunigiana, situated in the prestigious Piagnaro Castle, offers to visitors the possibility to embark on a compelling and enlightening journey of discovery of these testimonies of ancient times carved and engraved in stone.

The guest quarters of the Castle, created to accommodate pilgrims travelling along the Via Francigena are open all year round; it is necessary to book. The rooms in the guest quarters can accommodate up to 65 people and are available for groups, school-trips, associations, families, or single tourists. (from statuestele.org)

The Grotte di Equi karst complex is a registered geosite of the Apuan Alps Regional Park, which is a recognized Geopark in the European and Global Geoparks Networks (EGN-GGN) under the auspices of UNESCO.
The Equi cave complex developed over the course of hundreds of thousands of years thanks to the action of water, which over for millennia penetrated into fractures in the calcareous rock, eroding it and leaving behind features of great beauty and naturalistic interest: shafts, galleries, chambers, and underground lakes.
The Equi cave system extends for more than 1000 meters and may be subdivided into three parts.
The “Buca” has been known since the early 1700s and was outfitted for excursions in the early 1960s. It is considered a fossil (“dead” or inactive) area, since water no longer flows in it.
The “Grotte,” or caves as such, were discovered in the mid-1900s and fitted out for excursions in the mid-1980s. This area comprises the active portion of the complex and features a series of linked halls and chambers adorned with an infinite variety of natural mineral formations.
The third and last part of the complex is not open to the general public and is accessible only to speleologists.
The cave tour itinerary passes through the Buca and the Grotte on a path about 500 meters in length.
An underground river runs through the Equi caves and surfaces near the entrance. In case of heavy rains, the cavity is liable to flood and spectacular and violent water outflows into the Fagli stream may occur.

Il Museo del lavoro
The Museum of Labour, located in the Lucido Valley (Monzone, Ms- currently moving to Equi Terme) and named for the great Carrara-born photographer “Ilario Bessi”, focuses on the valley’s labourers, displaying objects, photographs and videos documenting the nature and historic and cultural effects of the transition from an economy based on farming to the modern industry-driven production system. The Lucido Valley has indeed been characterised by a different form of industrial development compared to the rest of Lunigiana, thanks to the presence of marble and quartzite quarries, brick and mortar kilns, sawmills and hydro-electric power plants used in industrial processes. The Museum also houses a model of the “Balzone” cableway, an exceptional structure built to move marble slabs from Mount Sagro to the nearby Vinca and Monzone valleys. The Museum is therefore a “memory bank” defending and passing down the identity of labour in the past.

Il Museo dell’Emigrazione della Gente di Toscana è nato nel 2004 dalla collaborazione tra il Centro di Documentazione dell’Emigrazione operante presso la Comunità Montana della Lunigiana, la Regione Toscana, il Consiglio dei Toscani all’Estero e il Comune di Mulazzo con l’obiettivo di conoscere e valorizzare il fenomeno dell’emigrazione toscana nel mondo.

Il Castello di Lusuolo si pone a difesa dell’omonimo abitato e dell’importante viabilità: domina infatti un guado sul fiume Magra, attivo fino ai primi anni del ‘900, ed un tratto della valle dove le colline, stringendosi intorno al corso d’acqua, rendevano facile il controllo della Via Francigena. Apparteneva in origine al feudo di Corrado l’Antico, Marchese di Mulazzo, ma le strutture più antiche attualmente visibili si possono far risalire alla metà del XIV secolo, quando Lusuolo diviene la sede marchionale di un feudo autonomo che aveva come primo marchese Azzone Malaspina e comprendeva Canossa, Tresana, Giovagallo, Riccò, Podenzana, Aulla, Bibola, Pallerone, Brina, Ponzano, Montedivalli, Gorasco, Beverino, Madrignano, Calice e Veppo
