heart of Tuscany, the town of Pietrasanta is a convenient destination for
the traveller eager to explore the artistic and architectural treasures of
the region. Its historical centre of Pietrasanta, with its smart Cathedral
Square, is one of the most charming centres in the area. The marble facade
and the brick bell-tower of St. Martin's Cathedral (built in 1526-1528)

equal: the blue and immense sea, clean and fresh the caresses the beach in
all its length, soft with fine sand, smooth and plentiful, the relaxing,
rich woods that grant beautiful shadows, full of hidden places and delicious
aromas of resins, that mix together with the odours of the sea. Whether looking for a holiday of
art, beach, or sun, Pietrasanta is a destination point for the
discriminating visitor. |
