Good starting point for a hike

On the road that leads from the center of Massa to the Vestito pass, along the Frigido valley, the hamlet of Antona is a splendid village from which you can enjoy a splendid view of Versilia. It currently has about 400 inhabitants.

The Duomo di Massa, officially known as the Cattedrale dei Santi Pietro e Francesco, is the main Catholic place of worship in Massa and the mother church of the diocese of Massa Carrara-Pontremoli. It is a national monument of Italy. The cathedral has a rich history. There are reliable sources dating back to 1477 when Taddea Pico Malaspina, wife of Marquis Giacomo I Malaspina, transferred the titles and goods of the extra-urban church of S. Remigio and S. Pancrazio and the suppressed monastery of Turano to this church. The building was almost completely rebuilt between 1660 and 1670. This included the layout and furnishings of the chancel, including a monumental high altar, two altars in the transept, and the marble covering of the walls and floor. The cathedral is dedicated to Saints Peter and Francis. The interior is richly decorated with valuable marble sculptures and a wooden crucifix considered miraculous. The altar, made of marble in 1626, has a polychrome wooden crucifix by Giovanni Pisano from the early 14th century.

The modernised duomo, built entirely of marble, contains some fascinating works of art: a baptismal font, a Madonna by Pinturicchio on the altar, a 16th-century nativity scene, a 13th-century crucifix and, in a chapel in the basement, the tombs of the Malaspina family.

Spectacular view of Colonnata, the marble quarries and the coast from Forte dei Marmi to La Spezia

Beautiful mountain landscape and one of the many tunnels here in the mountains where you can cool off.

One of the many tunnels here in the marble quarries. The lighting in the tunnel is usually poor - if there is any at all. And if there is a construction site in the tunnel, extreme caution is advised.
