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.<\/p>\n<\/div>
