 Historic and artistic capital of
Versilia, Pietrasanta remains faithful to its tradition, showing examples of
religious and military architecture. Without any doubt Piazza Duomo is the
undiscussed value of the town. Dominated by the "Rocca di Sala" (XIV century,
which rises from the homonymous hill with its bastion and embattled walls in
a thick olive-grove). Hearth of the historic center, the square is encircled
by the San Martino's Cathedral (XIV century) with its red brick belltower,
the Sant'Agostino's church (XIV century), the "Torre delle Ore" (Tower of
the Hours), and sober buildings among which the Palazzo Pretorio (XIV
century), Palazzo Panichi (or Carli) and the Rocchetta Arrighina (XIV
century) and the Palazzo Moroni (XVI century).The square is moreover
embellished by the Fonte del Marzocco (XVI century), the Colonna della
Liberta (XVI century) and the monument to Leopoldo II (XIX century). |
