The parish church of Codiponte of Saints Cornelio and Cipriano is among the most fascinating and artistically rich in the territory of the ancient Diocese of Luni. With its figurative capitals and its artistic masterpieces, it is a true paradigm of the Lunigiana Romanesque. The parish church stands on the right bank of the Aulella, near a bridge beyond which, in the distance, you can see the ruins of the 11th-century Bianchi d'Erberia castle. The church has a basilica plan with three naves with columns and round arches and perfectly preserved notched cubic capitals, which bear figures typical of the medieval image system: the tree of life, lily, six-petalled daisy, serpent with feet, two-tailed mermaid and many others. The late medieval triptych with the Virgin on the throne, the SS. Cornelius and Cyprian, the church's patron saints, and the image of the Holy Face, a famous and venerated Lucchese relic, which recalls the passage of the Via del Volto Santo in these very places.

Characteristic village of the upper Aulella valley, nestled along the crest of a rocky spur, the town still today winds along an axis that has at its center the baroque church (17th century), dedicated to San Martino, with a singular façade. On the sides of the monument, two pedestrian streets with a slight difference in level run between tightly packed stone houses, softened by arches and portals. Farmyards, terraces and open spaces open the view onto a lush nature.
