Stazzema
Castles, fortified sites and chisel-made medieval tunnels
Surrounded by the Apuan Alps, Stazzema is a scattered town, forming part of the historic Versilia region—in the area, it’s the only town that is entirely mountainous. With its magnificent setting and panoramic views, you'll want to admire its numerous hamlets—a solid 17 of them—which are spread down the slopes of the mountains. People have been living here practically since time immemorial, as the discovery of Apuan Ligurian tombs in the area attests.
