December 28, 2025, wet trail, but completely doable even on gravel! Very nice

Unfortunately, St. Stefano is no longer open, as we learned on site. How nice to find photos of the interior here 😃

probably the best known of the many well-preserved medieval villages that you come across along the route, which reveals its Byzantine origins both in its name and in its shapes: the term “Filetto”, in fact, derives from the Greek Fulacterion, which means “fortified village”. The town still retains the quadrangular shape typical of the villages of foundation and late ancient camps, with perpendicular streets and central squares. To the oldest part, characterized by narrow alleys such as the Jewish village and a large market square, is added a late Renaissance “addition”, the fascinating Borgo degli Ariberti. The Ariberti family enlarged the village by building a wide central street, a square and a stately building adjacent to the church of Saints Jacopo and Antonio and the Fatebenefratelli Convent. The addition is linked to the village in an elegant way, with suspension bridges and arches that overlook the entrance gates to the town and that connect the main buildings.

Ruins of the Malnido Castle, with the square dedicated to Dante Alighieri, ancient guest of the Malaspina, and the remains of the church of San Nicolò, the medieval road leads to the parish church of San Giovanni

Sinuous cycle path perfect for gravel

Castello Terrarossa, also known as Castello Malaspina di Terrarossa, is located in Terrarossa, in the municipality of Licciana Nardi, and covers an area of 1,250 square meters with 43 rooms. The castle was built in the second half of the 16th century on the initiative of the first Marquis of Terrarossa, Fabrizio Malaspina. The aim was to transform the ancient medieval fortress dating back to 1126 into a residence. The castle has a square structure, similar to that of the Castle of Pontebosio, which was also built under the rule of Fabrizio Malaspina. Today the castle houses the tourist information point of the municipality of Licciana Nardi and the Albino Fontana natural library.
