フォズディノーヴォのおすすめMTBライド

このツアーは誰にでもできるものではありません。カニパローラからの登りは非常に厳しく、最初はすぐに11%から始まります。

マグラ川は、中央イタリアにある全長62キロメートルの重要な河川で、トスカーナ州とリグーリア州の間を流れています。河口での平均流量において、リグーリア州の主要な河川となっています。標高1,401メートルのボルゴニョーネ山（Monte Borgognone）を源流とし、肥沃なマグラ渓谷（Val di Magra）を流れ、ボッカ・ディ・マグラ（Bocca di Magra）の地先でリグーリア海に注いでいます。

Bocca di Magraは、アメリア自治体に属する魅力的な海岸沿いの集落で、ラ・スペツィア県にあり、同名のマグラ川の河口に位置しています。古代の漁村であるこの地域は、リグーリア州とトスカーナ州の境界にあり、モンテマルチェッロ・マグラ・ヴァラ地域自然公園の緑に囲まれています。

The Citadel, also known as the Sarzana Fortress or Firmafede Fortress, was the first fortification in Sarzana, built in the 13th century. It was owned by the lord Castruccio Castracani, who made numerous significant modifications to its defenses. After its destruction by Florence in 1487, it was rebuilt on the orders of Lorenzo de' Medici. In 1494, the Republic of Genoa, having regained possession of Sarzana, completed work on the Citadel. The fortress is used as a venue for cultural events and exhibitions and also houses the Fortress Museum, an interactive exhibit that traces the history of Sarzana and the Lunigiana region.

A very easy and pleasant ride. Much of the route follows secondary roads with very little traffic. Splendid views of Fosdinovo Castle, the mouth of the Magra River, and the Bay of La Spezia.

A very curious place

The Firmafede Fortress (originally called Cittadella) was built in 1249 thanks to the help of the Pisan allies of the city. In the 15th century the city became an important strategic point, Lorenzo the Magnificent decided to transform the village into a military stronghold of the Florentine lordship and to rebuild the fortress. In 1496 the fortress passed to the Banco di San Giorgio and from 1562 to the Republic of Genoa, remaining there until the end of the 18th century, a period in which it underwent several interventions. In the 19th century, with the annexation of the Republic to the Savoy kingdom and with the radical changes in defensive strategies, the fortress was used first as a police barracks and subsequently as a prison until the 1970s.

The Citadel, also called the Sarzana Fortress or Firmafede Fortress, was the first fortress of the city of Sarzana, built in the thirteenth century. After its destruction in 1487 by Florence, it was rebuilt on the orders of Lorenzo de' Medici himself. In 1494, the Republic of Genoa, after regaining possession of Sarzana, completed the work on the Citadel. The fortress is used as a venue for cultural events and exhibitions and also houses the Museum of the Fortresses, an interactive route that follows the history of Sarzana and Lunigiana.
