マッサでののおすすめグラベルライド

Road impassable due to a landslide and ongoing construction (August/September 2025) You can ascend by crossing the landslide via a small dirt road.

A place worth visiting at least once. Be careful of the slopes in some places very challenging.

Versilia is a coastal strip with sandy beaches that slopes gradually down to the sea from the Apuan Alps. Since the nineteenth century, various fashionable seaside resorts have emerged in the coastal area. Over the years, these have grown together into a large agglomeration. There are few high-rise buildings in the coastal area; the buildings generally do not rise above the pine forests (pineta). The area of the municipalities of Seravezza and Stazzema, which are located in the hilly region, is referred to as Alta Versilia (High Versilia).

In between the vegetation you will find a view of Massa.

At the beginning of the Col de la Fortezza there is a small rest point with a fountain, shade and a work of art.

The Palazzo Ducale is an important monument in Massa, located in Piazza Aranci. It was built in the mid-16th century according to the wishes of Prince Alberico I Cybo-Malaspina. Hence it is also called Palazzo Cybo-Malaspina. The impressive façade overlooking the square offers a color scheme of red and white (in the marble and stucco). Beyond the main entrance opens a large courtyard, surrounded by columns, staircases, loggias and marble portals. At the far end is a nymphaeum with a statue of Neptune riding the waves.

The Candia Hills in Tuscany are a picturesque landscape of rolling hills covered in vineyards, olive groves and cypress trees. This region is known for its serene beauty and offers breathtaking views of the Tuscan countryside. The hills are dotted with charming medieval villages and historic farmhouses, where you can enjoy local wines and traditional Italian dishes.

Massa, the "city of marble" preserves the memory of a glorious era… You see this everywhere in the old city: fountains, curbs, house sills, window frames are made of white marble. Marble is literally and figuratively the cornerstone of the community here. Almost everyone here lives from the proceeds of white gold. You see marble everywhere in Italy and almost all of that marble comes from the quarries of Massa. For centuries, artists and sculptors managed to find their perfect blocks here. Michelangelo was a regular in this area. He personally came to select 'his' marble blocks. Know that in this region around Massa - Carrara there are about 300 marble quarries, most of which are still being exploded. We start our discovery in the religious heart of the city. Like accomplished seminarians, we stride past 18th-century palazzi and white-paved marble squares. Triggered by history, we hoped to reach our climax at Castello Malaspina. Unfortunately, due to closure, we return to square one hungry... Chiesa di San Sebastiano is certainly worth mentioning. Contemporary murals tell Biblical stories and can be understood in all languages. Spiritually satisfied and dazzled by splendor and splendor, our Mass story ends in the Chiesa di San Sebastiano.
