Derives its name from the old fortress that still remains in the main piazza and the pier that was once used for loading marble. This gem of Versilia became a highly fashionable resort in the 1970?s attracting many international and some ?would be? celebrities and has in recent years undergone a facelift to become popular again as a chic destination. Grand old villas of the late 19th Century provide the perfect facade of this luxury town with important families of Italian industry and design owning villas here. For those seeking retail therapy Italian style the town will not fail to impress with some of the most famous brands in the world. Even if many of the shops sell some of the most expensive items money can buy, it has managed to retain a strangely relaxed and somewhat unpretentious atmosphere. Stylish boutiques and cafes line the streets, ideal for a drink while you ponder over a purchase. Maybe you will catch a glimpse of a famous face hidden behind the compulsory sunglasses. Before you reach for your credit cards, visit the weekly market on Wednesdays and during the summer on Sunday where often you can find some designer bargains. When you have had enough of shopping you can always escape to one of the beach clubs for some sun, sea and relaxation.

The Cinque Terre - five fishing villages on the Ligurian coast - Riomaggiore, Manarola, Corniglia, Vernazza and Monterosso, audaciously balance over the sea. Formerly accessible only by sea or by a series of cliff-skirting footpaths, the villages have retained much of their original charm. While nowadays they are far from undiscovered, they remain unspoiled and form part of a protected National Park and Marine Area. Generations of the villages� citizens have built and maintained steep, dry stone-walled terraces that slope down to the sea. Vineyards, olive groves and citrus trees populate the landscape, the only one of its kind in the world.
High cliffs reaching down to the sea hide minute shingle beaches at Riomaggiore and Vernazza or tiny ports like Manarola where sunbathers mix with fishermen. Monterosso has a large sandy beach, with beach clubs and facilities. Corniglia, the only village not on the sea, nestles on a hill surrounded by vineyards and offers fabulous views of the coastline. Between Corniglia and Vernazza lies the nudist beach, Guvano, only reachable on foot.
The Cinque Terre are still best reached by train or boat, although a windy often precarious road does exist. Exploring is best done by foot.
Take the train from Aulla to Riomaggiore and walk the famous Via dell' Amore (Lovers Way) that skirts the cliff over to Manarola. (30 minutes) If you�re feeling energetic, you can continue on to Monterosso � a 5 hour walk � or take the train in any of the villages if you get tired along the way. Several other walks crisscross the surrounding countryside and the National Park provides route maps.

Aulla extends along a flat zone, following the Magra river, in the point in which it meets the Aulella torrent, while the northern part is delimited from the course of the Taverone torrent. Aulla lies in a strategic position between the steps of the Cisa, the step of the Cerreto, the step of the Lagastrello. Because of the strafings of the second world war, the ancient village has gone almost completely destroyed, but on the surrounding evocative medieval villages like Caprigliola, Albiano, Bibola, Olivola and Pallerone have remained intact.
The village of Aulla was founded towards 884, when the Abbey of Saint Caprasio was built. Towards the end of XIII the century the territory passes under the jurisdiction of the Bishop of Luni, for being then disputed from Pisa, Lucca, Genova and the Malaspina family. Aulla is characterised by the Fortress of the Brunella, military construction of the XV century was built in a strategic position from which it could dominate all the city. The Fortress was erected probably under Giovanni delle Bande Nere. Today it hosts the Natural history museum of Lunigiana.

Pontremoli is the northern gateway of Lunigiana. An ancient town, Pontremoli developed with the expansion of its central castle. The buildings are positioned in such a way that they seem to defend the historical centre. A town of slate and terracotta roofed houses, palaces, towers and many attractive stone bridges. Wherever you look in Pontremoli there is a multitude of balconies either overlooking the two rivers of the town or one of the narrow streets and piazzas. The town first appears in history books in 990 and has passed through turbulent times during the struggles of the middle ages. The old walls of the town called ‘Cacciaguerra’ were built by Castruccio Castracani of Lucca in 1322 to separate two rival groups. Thankfully in present times the people of Pontremoli live in harmony with each other. One of the most remarkable buildings in the town is the Castello which dates back from the tenth century and is situated on the top of a hill above the Cisa main road. Recently restored, the castle now houses the Museo Archeologico with its unique collection of menhirs, prehistoric and bronze age stone monuments.
