This place is characterized by a depression on the stream that over the years has created a real basin with crystal clear waters. Once you reach the stream you will find two fairly large but low pools, if you continue down the stream you will find the waterfalls and even further down the basin, near an ancient stone building right on the river.

to Malaspina Castle, where today you can visit the porticoed courtyard. A marble shield with a lion and two branches of Spino Secco, the family crest, welcomes you. Once you enter the loggia, a double staircase leads to the two wings of the castle: on one side, the noble rooms dating back to the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, on the other, in the direction of the Apennines and the village of Bagnone, the defense tower from which you can enjoy a wide view of the entire valley. Today, a small passage that the inhabitants call “riulin”, ravelin, allows you to go along the tower and the defense system facing the mountains and leave the village in the direction of the small sanctuary of the Madonna della Neve.

Bagnone Castle is located on the highest hill and is clearly visible as soon as you enter the town. It is dominated by an imposing cylindrical stone tower, crowned by corbels of the plumbing system with archers and larger openings framed by frames. The tower remains the only surviving structure of the castle, which has now completely disappeared and is partly incorporated into smaller buildings of the villa of the Counts Ruschi-Noceti. The castle is privately owned and cannot be visited.

The Borgo di Bagnone is a medieval village on the Tuscan-Emilian pre-Apennine hillsides. It is characterized by the waterfalls that flow on the right side of the village, formed in the rock by the flow of the Bagnone Torrent. The oldest part of the village stands on the left side of the Bagnone Torrent, from which it took its name. The circular tower located in this area of the village served to control the valley's traffic and was connected to other similar towers: Malgrate, Groppoli and Mulazzo.

Medieval Castle of 1351. The fortification, which controlled the most important communication routes coming from the Apennines, Cisa and Garfagnana, developed in the 14th century (but its origins are probably older) and on its tower, 25 meters high and crowned by a corbeled patrol embossment, the flag of the Malaspina marquises flew until the 17th century. In addition to performing defensive functions, the castle became a noble residence in 1641, when the central body was transformed into a palace, incorporating the round tower. Despite this, the appearance of Malgrate is that of a classic medieval fortress: the main body is made up of the keep, located on the short side of the rectangular feudal palace and surrounded by walls, equipped with Guelph battlements, slopes and a patrol walkway that seems to date back to the 14th century.

The Ponte della Cresa is a stone bridge built in the 14th century and despite the frequent flooding of the Verde river, it has maintained its original structure to this day. The bridge connects the new neighborhoods with the historic center. The bridge is located along the Verde river near Porta San Francesco. Under the arch of this bridge, on January 31, the characteristic fire of San Geminiano takes place. The Ponte della Cresa is considered by many to be the true symbol of the city of Pontremoli. It is also interesting to note that the name Pontremoli derives from the Latin 'Pons Tremulus', which means 'unsafe bridge'. This was a term used to describe the original conurbation of the city.
