Village historically linked to the tradition of transhumance The ancient village of Noce is one of the first villages you encounter when entering the Zeri Valleys. In ancient times, the village of Noce was completely rural, historically linked to the work of shepherds and with them to the beautiful tradition of transhumance towards the town of Formentara. This took place through the ancient road called "Trianara", recently restored. During the Second World War, the village of Noce suffered a terrible roundup, during which almost the entire village was burned down. Today, the current village is very different from the original, which in ancient times was built almost entirely of stone arches and vaults.

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.

Entrance to Pontremoli from Porta San Francesco

Caffè degli Svizzeri F.lli Aichta the most famous café in the city, where you can't miss trying the "amor", the typical sweets made of two wafers with lots of delicious cream in the middle, whose recipe is a secret that every Pontremolese pastry shop has been handing down for years. the "Campanone" among the numerous towers that form the profile of Pontremoli is the most imposing. The Campanone was in fact one of the three towers of the so-called Cacciaguerra fortress, a sort of curtain that cut Pontremoli in two, from river to river. The construction of this barrier, wanted by Castruccio Castracani in 1322, was necessary to calm the violent struggles between Guelphs and Ghibellines, which in the 14th century also involved Pontremoli. The separation between the two parts of Pontremoli was so clear that the two areas had taken on a specific name: Imoborgo the southern one and Sommoborgo the northern one, each with its own square (the current Piazza del Duomo and Piazza della Repubblica).

Beautiful path along the river to enjoy nature and relax

The Ponte del Giubileo, also known as the Ponte Cesare Battisti, is a historic bridge in Pontremoli. The bridge has considerable historical significance and was originally made of wood. It was built in the 14th century. During the Nazi occupation in 1945, the bridge was destroyed. After the destruction, it was replaced by a structure of concrete and iron. In 2000, the bridge was rebuilt, faithful to the original design, and re-inaugurated.

The Torre di Busticca, also known as the Torre di Castelnuovo, is an impressive medieval tower in Pontremoli. Built in the 14th century, this square tower was part of the city's defensive works, together with the Piagnaro Castle and the Seratti Tower12. Situated on the left bank of the Magra River, next to the Nostra Donna Oratory, the tower offers a beautiful example of Gothic architecture with its preserved arch. Although it is now a private residence, the tower remains an important historical monument in the region.
