The Sarzanello Fortress, which dominates the Magra Valley from its hills, was commissioned by Lorenzo de' Medici, known as the Magnificent. Even today, its medieval towers and bastions are clearly visible from the historic homes of the valley and from the villages perched high up on the peaks of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines, while the old drawbridge has been destroyed. But that won't stop you from accessing the castle, built on two triangular fortifications connected by a bridge and surrounded by a moat.
