Tips

Giuseppe PICCIOLI

Cycling

Sarzana is the first municipality in Liguria that you come across when coming from Tuscany. The city center is located inland, in a plain of the lower Magra valley dominated by the Sarzanello hill, but an offshoot of the municipal territory reaches all the way to the sea.

Hiking

Porta Romana is one of the historic entrances to the center of Sarzana, dating back to the 15th century, once an entry point along the Via Francigena.
It preserves the city's identity and is a symbol of continuity between past and present.

Hiking

Of the five gates that once provided access to the town, Porta Romana and Porta Parma remain on the opposite side. We are on the ancient Via Romea, and today's Via Mazzini is a vestige of it. Its current appearance, clad in white Carrara marble, dates back to 1783; on the exterior is the coat of arms of Genoa and, higher up, a statue of Mary.
