RAI Antennas on Monte Serra

Highlight • Monument

Reaching the RAI antennas on Monte Serra means reaching the highest point of the Pisan mountain and in a nutshell it represents a challenge and a first goal with significant differences in height for all those who love two-wheelers without an engine! The antennas can be reached by three different routes: from BUTI, from CALCI and from Sant'Andrea di Compito already in the province of Lucca; this last ascent in my opinion is the most beautiful (especially in summer since most of the road is in the shade), but it is also the most demanding.

Dolorosa Rock

Highlight • Summit

It is the peak from which the watershed lines that form the boundaries between the Vicopisano, Buti and Calci valleys start.
It is famous for the fact that the Florentines, engaged in the war against Pisa, in 1496 built a fort with a triangular plan, with the dual purpose of isolating the Verruca fortress and to better control the situation in the three surrounding valleys, the strategic position in fact, being on the point of intersection of the aforementioned watershed lines, it allowed great freedom of action.
