Art Cities >> MASSA and CARRARA
 
MASSA
The visit starts at Piazza Aranci, which preserves an obelisk and a fountain from the 19th century, and Palazzo Cybo Malaspina. Walking along Via Dante, you get to the Cathedral, built in the 14th century and restructured in the 17th century, though the modern façade is from 1936.
CARRARA
 
 
 
The inside of the Cathedral is Baroque and houses works by Benedetto Buglioli and "Sant'Anna con Maria Bambina" by Pinturicchio. Beside the Cathedral is the Museo Storico di Arte Sacra, where you can admire church ornaments, precious gold-works and many art works. Entering the Porta Quaranta, you can walk along the old walls to the fortress from where you have a marvellous view. In the Medieval fortress you find the Palazzo Malaspina from the 16th century.
In the surroundings, at the Alpi Apuane, with a spectacular view, you find the San Carlo spas. It is here where the Aurelia water is bottled and from here you can take one of the several trekking trials if you want to discover the mountains.
