Abbazia di S. Caprasio – Saint Caprasio Abbey (9th – 12th century)
The Abbey was founded in the year 884 and entrusted to the monks who had ties with the Malaspina Family.
The period of greatest religious and economic influence was from the end of the twelfth and the beginning of the thirteenth century, when the abbey had plebeian functions for much of surrounding territory. Around 1070 the original building was modified to assume its current appearance with three naves.
It was refurbished in the fourteenth century and during the baroque period. Today it is a religious centre.

Fortezza della Brunella - Brunella Fortress (half 16th century)
The Fortress takes its name by the name of the hill where it has located since the half of the sixteenth century. It is a typical example of renaissance military architecture, conceived against fire attacks. The layout of the building is quadrangular with large angular hip rafters.
Currently, in the Fortess takes place a renovation of the outside area and of the powder magazines. Today it is also the home of the Natural History Museum of Lunigiana, of an adventure playground and of a rarest pets cemetery.
