Sarzana

Sarzana is a vibrant fortified city at the border between Liguria and Tuscany, an important stop on the Francigena Way. Its rich past is evident in its two imposing fortresses, the Fortezza di Sarzanello and the Fortezza Firmafede. The old town, with pedestrian streets and elegant buildings, bustles with life, featuring numerous shops, cafes, and restaurants. The Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta houses one of Italy's oldest painted crosses. For pilgrims, Sarzana is an animated and culturally rich stage, ideal for a comfortable rest and to enjoy the atmosphere of a city that has been an important crossroads throughout history.
