Sarzanello Fortress<\/strong><\/a> is located at the top of the hill of the same name and dominates the medieval city from above. The complex has a rhomboidal layout, and the cellars and prisons are perfectly preserved.<\/p>\n\n

Fortezza Firmafede<\/strong><\/a>, also known as Cittadella<\/strong>, is an imposing defensive structure in the historic center of Sarzana<\/a><\/strong>. During the 15th century, it became an important strategic point for Lorenzo the Magnificent, who decided to transform the village into a military stronghold. Today, the fortress houses the Museum of Fortresses (MudeF), which retraces the history of Lunigiana.<\/p>\n\n
