Malaspina Castle Fosdinovo
This Castle played an important role in a feud between the branches of the Malaspina del Ramo Fiorito family that lasted from the fourteenth to the eighteenth century.

He created the Marquisate of Fosdinovo and lived in the Castle for the rest of his life.

Sarzana Fortezza Firmafede
Lorenzo the Magnificent conquered Serazzana (Sarzana) in 1487 after a long war against Genoa. After having destroyed the Firmafede Fortress, he decided to build a new, more modern one upon its ashes, in step with the current technological progress of the art of war. He well understood the strategic value of Sarzana, and decided that a fortress ready for the new firearms was a worthy investment. Today, the colossal bulk of the Citadel – as the locals call it – is concealed behind a curtain of rooftops, at the eastern end of Sarzana’s historical center. In order to reach it you must penetrate the city’s streets or follow its ancient walls, along a shady rampart from where you can see the surrounding hills and the Sarzanello Fortress, a companion that once created a defensive curtain against so many cannons.
Sarzana: Fortezza di Sarzanello
Whoever goes to Sarzana, from wherever comes, cannot help be attracted by that impressive building that dominates the Magra valley, from the top of Sarzanello hill. The fortress is the most immediate, representative and dearest image of the town, which has witnessed its past greatness.
