Pontremoli Cathedral (Co-Cathedral of Saint Mary of the People)

Highlight • Religious Site

Pontremoli - shaking bridge - is the northernmost town in all of Tuscany and one of the most distinctive centers of Lunigiana. Built on a plain surrounded by hills and mountains, the city is a small jewel of artistic and monumental heritage. It is recognized by historians as the mythical Apua, the ancient capital of the Ligurian-Apuanian civilization. By crossing the medieval bridges and walking along the streets, you will find yourself in a mythical era. It is also a stop on the Via Francigena, the pilgrimage route that connects Canterbury in England with Rome.

Santa Maria del Popolo is a major church and a minor basilica in Rome, administered by the Augustinian order.
The church was founded in 1099 by Pope Paschal II. It was built between 1472 and 1477 in Renaissance style, followed by modifications in Baroque style between 1655 and 1660, during the pontificate of Pope Alexander VII, including the facade. The church has a central nave with two side aisles, which are surrounded by 12 side chapels. The dome of the church, symbol of the influence of the Renaissance style and belonging to the Chigi Chapel, contains mosaics designed by Raphael Santi; they depict “The Creation of the World”.
The church contains works by several famous artists, such as Raphael, Gian Lorenzo Bernini, Caravaggio, Alessandro Algardi, Pinturicchio, Andrea Bregno, Guillaume de Marcillat and Donato Bramante.

Historic Center of Pontremoli

Highlight • Historical Site

Located in the Tuscany region of Italy, the historic center of Pontremoli is a beautiful place that breathes history.
You will find a beautiful church on the central square of the city. Next door is the city's most famous coffee shop, the Caffè Pasticceria Aichta.
Do you follow the signs towards the castle? Then you take a beautiful walk to the Castle of Piagnaro. Here is the museum of the Stele statues, where you can see many special statues.
Walk around the old center and you will immediately notice: there are many bridges here. Pontremoli literally means shaking bridge.
Pontremoli has many beautiful buildings and the best preserved is perhaps the Villa Dosi Delfini. This Villa is a true work of art in Baroque style.

Ascent to the Cisa Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

Ascent to the Cisa pass on average challenging (without hard "tears", but not to be taken lightly) with beautiful views and linked to historical reminiscences (traveled or crossed by Roman pilgrims, but also by merchants, soldiers or adventurers and, more recently, ravaged from the war events that raged along the Gothic Line).

Passo della Cisa

Highlight • Mountain Pass

A very popular Apennine pass, the Cisa is one of the favorite destinations for those who cycle in the area. It has gentle slopes, wide curves and is a historic link between the Po Valley and the sea. At the brow point, a stairway leads to the sanctuary of the Madonna della Guardia.
