A journey into the Middle Ages in the Taverone Valley

The Malaspina Castle in Monti, Licciana Nardi, is one of the most charming castles in Lunigiana, which still belongs to the ancient owners: the Malaspina family, a noble ancestry.

It was a medieval castle, which controlled the valleys of the rivers Magra and Taverone. During 16th century it was transformed in  a noble palace. After the violent earthquake in 1920, the Castle was restaured and it returned to its former glory thanks to Malaspina family.

The guided tour, which lasts about 1 hour, will allow to visit the castle rooms and admire a marvellous view over Lunigiana from the wonderful terrace of the Castle.
