Berceto
Highlight • Settlement
Berceto is a stop on the Via Francigena, the pilgrimage route of early medieval Christianity to Rome. The ancient village preserves the character and atmosphere typical of the Middle Ages, with stone houses, buildings from the 12th to the 17th centuries and the ruins of a castle.
Some of the main attractions are the Cathedral of St. Moderanno, an important example of Romanesque architecture, and the ruins of the Castle of Berceto. Next to the church is the Cathedral Museum, which preserves sacred furniture and vestments, including the 12th century Cape of San Moderanno.

Historic Center of Pontremoli
Highlight • Historical Site
You will find a beautiful church on the central square of the city. Next door is the city's most famous coffee shop, the Caffè Pasticceria Aichta.
Do you follow the signs towards the castle? Then you take a beautiful walk to the Castle of Piagnaro. Here is the museum of the Stele statues, where you can see many special statues.
Walk around the old center and you will immediately notice: there are many bridges here. Pontremoli literally means shaking bridge.
Pontremoli has many beautiful buildings and the best preserved is perhaps the Villa Dosi Delfini. This Villa is a true work of art in Baroque style.
