Camporgiano is located on the right bank of the Serchio River, in a verdant valley that divides the mountain ranges of the Apuan Alps and the Apennines. Of Roman origin, the town was contested by numerous families and lordships since the Middle Ages; in 1446 it became part of the dominions of the Este family, until the Unification of Italy. The undisputed “star” of Camporgiano is the Rocca Estense, built on a rocky spur, and whose bulk dominates the main square of the town. At the top of the Rocca there is a sort of hanging garden in which some conifers stand out, giving the fortress an unmistakable character, dialoguing from afar with the fir trees that cover the heights of the surrounding reliefs. The fortress was built for defensive purposes in the 15th century and is an emblematic example of Este military architecture of the 15th century, with its trapezoidal wall and truncated conical corner towers protruding from the plan profile. Once the medieval center of the city, today the fortress does not retain much of its original structure due to the earthquake that struck the entire area in 1920. At the foot of the fortress you can also admire a stone fountain traditionally called the pilon. The main tower of the fortress houses the Civic Collection of Renaissance Ceramics, which brings together ceramics from a period ranging from the early fifteenth century to the second half of the seventeenth century, mostly found in the wells of the fortification during restoration work.

Fortezza delle Verrucole: Very imposing medieval fortress. From its walls you have a really fantastic view of the surrounding area. Mondays are days off here, otherwise the opening times depend on the season. The opening times and admission prices can be found here: https://www.fortezzaverrucolearcheopark.it/it/informazioni.html However, I cannot really recommend the museum of the castle.

The Verrucole Fortress in San Romano in Garfagnana, founded by the Gherardinghi family over a previous human settlement, dates back to a period between the 10th and 13th centuries. In 1986 the municipality of San Romano in Garfagnana bought the Fortress, starting the conservative and reconstructive restoration, completed in 2012. Since 2013, the Fortress can be visited regularly thanks to the Fortezza Verrucole Archeopark project.

At the church you have a beautiful view of the valley and the mountains opposite.

There are markings at the beginning and end of the trail, and you have to rely on your nose along the way. The path is currently easy to find, but depending on how it is used, it may continue to grow and then become more difficult. As of 05/15/2023.

Oratory of the Most Holy Crucifix (San Romano in Garfagnana, Lucca) It is located in Sillicagnana (hamlet of San Romano di Garfagnana) in the narrow country road of the same name which runs parallel to the sp 16 along the "Cammino del Volto Santo". The small building, in the shape of a Latin cross with neo-Gothic decorative elements and an imposing entrance colonnade that leads straight inside, was built of stone in a questionable medieval style in 1899, in order to house an eighteenth-century painting on canvas of the Holy Crucifix with the Madonna and the saints Carlo Borromeo and Sebastiano; this image was (and still is) particularly venerated not only by the local population but also throughout the Lucca area on occasions of drought, serious calamities, epidemics. In fact, you can see inside, hanging on the walls, the numerous ex-votos of popular religiosity, while outside, not far away, you can see an elaborate stone drinking-fountain of the last century with the characteristic trigram P.G.R. (For Favours Received) and the name of the donor.
