WHAT YOU VISIT
Pontremoli
Set between the Magra and Verde rivers in Tuscany's rolling green hills, the medieval town rests in the shadow of an 1,100-year-old castle. When you arrive at the coach park, you'll board a quaint little train that will take you into the main historical center. Once you disembark, you'll think you've stepped back into the Middle Ages as you walk along the 13th century walls that divide Pontremoli anchored by the 118-foot-high great bell tower erected in 1322. The adjacent Piazza del Duomo is dominated by the majestic marble facade of the Cathedral dedicated to Santa Maria Assunta, the Virgin Mary. Enjoy outside visits to the impressive Pavesi and Bocconi mansions and the 10th century Castello del Piagnaro, which sits uphill from the center of town.

PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES
Keen photographers are sure to love exploring the hidden corners, with each twist and turn revealing another photo opportunity like
Palazzo Pavesi - Ruschi Noceti, built in the 8th Century, counts more than 100 rooms. It was built almost at the end of the epoque baroque, between 1734 and 1745. Or Palazzo Bocconi - Zucchi Castellini – An impressive 17th century building, it was built on the remains of the ancient church of St. Giovanni.
