Mentioned for the first time in 1221, the Church of San Cristoforo is located on an ancient parallel and alternative road to the Via Francigena of Monte Bardone, coming from Bardi and heading towards Lunigiana through the Passo del Bratello. Until the 16th century, the church had an ancient bell tower with an unusual internal column carved with the sun and moon. The foundations of the apse and the bell tower column are now visible under the stained glass windows.

There's also a water fountain and an amazing view of the hills, making this an ideal place for a stopover.
