City of medieval origin, it is the capital of the artistic processing of marble and is considered the historical capital of Versilia.
Pietrasanta is enchanted: it seems suspended between the sea, the Apuan Alps, the processing of marble and an infinite open-air exhibition.
Those who visit this city fall in love with it, Pietrasanta has in fact always been a center of attraction for artists from all over the world. Remember that Fernando Botero and Igor Mitoraj chose it as a place to settle.
It is a small town but has the cathedral of a great city set in a square made unique thanks to the Apuan Alps that form the backdrop. Temporary exhibitions of outdoor statues and works of art are held in this square throughout the year.
Narrow streets, works of art scattered in the open air, art workshops, art galleries exhibiting both ancient and modern, wine bars and bars that populate the main square.
It is a place where everything naturally seems simple but in reality nothing is left to chance since the keywords here could be: taste, style, art and refinement.
In addition to getting lost in the alleys of the town, we recommend visiting: Piazza del Duomo and the Cathedral of San Martino, the Municipal Theater, the Church of Sant’Agostino which today houses the Museum of Sketches Pierluigi Gherardi and the church of San Francesco.
Finally, remember that Pietrasanta is crossed by the Via Francigena which from Massa reaches Camaiore.
