Sarzana
Some may say Sarzana is Lunigiana’s most elegant town however is sadly missed by many people visiting the area. Although not in Tuscany but Liguria it lies slightly inland from the gulf of the poets and only 15 minutes from Aulla. The Ligurian architecture is apparent in colour combining the many styles of the region. The historic centre is a great place to spend an afternoon or evening with a host of small boutiques, and trendy bars and restaurants. The town is particularly famous for its annual antique market during August when the streets are filled with stalls selling everything from furniture, arts and crafts to memorabilia. Traffic is restricted to residents only in the centre so it is an ideal place to wander its inter linking cobbled lanes from the main piazza to the castle and the theatre. There is a weekly market on Thursday morning so get there early if you want to find a parking space.
