The Sarzanello fortress is a military fortification that stands in via alla Fortezza on the Sarzanello hill, near Sarzana, in the province of La Spezia, and dominates the Val di Magra from above. Its nature and its position make it one of the symbols of the city of Sarzana.

The fortress is composed of two distinct building elements:

the first, real castle is the main element of the fortification and has a triangular plan, with three bastions at the top. This factory element houses the actual structure of the castle;

the second is a huge ravelin in the form of a triangular fortified embankment, almost the same size as the fortress. Opposed to the first and connected via a flying bridge, so as to form a sort of rhombus made up of two triangles with the first element.

Access to the fortress is by crossing the stone bridge, which crosses the wide and deep fortified moat.

All the streets leading to the fortress are paved with large stones, the road can only be traveled with a MTB.
