Porta Romana (Roman Gate)

Highlight • Historical Site

Sarzana is the first municipality in Liguria that you come across when coming from Tuscany. The city center is located inland, in a plain of the lower Magra valley dominated by the Sarzanello hill, but an offshoot of the municipal territory reaches all the way to the sea.

Firmafede Fortress

Highlight • Castle

The Citadel, also called the Sarzana Fortress or Firmafede Fortress, was the first fortress of the city of Sarzana, built in the thirteenth century. After its destruction in 1487 by Florence, it was rebuilt on the orders of Lorenzo de' Medici himself.
In 1494, the Republic of Genoa, after regaining possession of Sarzana, completed the work on the Citadel.
The fortress is used as a venue for cultural events and exhibitions and also houses the Museum of the Fortresses, an interactive route that follows the history of Sarzana and Lunigiana.

Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta

Highlight • Religious Site

The patronage of this church, “SANTA MARIA ASSUNTA” (in German: “Assumption of Mary”), refers to one of the many memorial days or feast days in honor of the Mother of God Mary. It goes back to the feast of her bodily assumption into heaven, which the (Catholic) Church celebrates annually on August 15th. In the Orthodox churches, the feast is called “Dormition of Mary”.
In many rural areas, it is customary for the population to collect bundles of herbs on this day and to bless them in the festive service.

Garibaldi Monument

Highlight • Monument

The genius of descent, by Carlo Fontana, located on the south side of Piazza Garibaldi. Wrongly known as the monument to Giuseppe Garibaldi, Fontana's monument, designed in 1907 and completed in 1914, was actually intended to symbolize the future of the Italian people with the protection of Garibaldi, a key figure and one of the most important figures of the Risorgimento and the unification of Italy. The statue, which represents a giant with a shield on which is the profile of the Man of the Two Worlds, was carved from a single block of white Carrara marble which, after being built in the quarries, was transported to Sarzana by a large number of oxen and placed on the base with special equipment.
