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).
