Hard road ride. Very good fitness required. Mostly well-paved surfaces and easy to ride. The starting point of the route is right next to a parking lot.

On the one hand you are still in Barga 2.0, on the other you step back in medieval times.

Red Telephone Box Library in Barga
Highlight • Structure
The old part of Barga is still almost entirely walled. Unauthorized traffic is not allowed within these city walls. There is a large parking lot at the city gate where you can park your car for a fee. Once you pass through the Reale city gate, it seems as if you have taken a step back into the past. The village was probably founded before our era, but not much is known about the earliest history of Barga. We do know that in the Middle Ages the village belonged to Lucca but later joined Florence. During this period Barga was an important trading post.
The main attraction of the village can be found at the highest point of Barga. This is where the Duomo of Braga is also known as the Chiesa del Mille. This beautiful church was built between the eleventh and sixteenth centuries. In the church, also look at the wooden statue behind the altar. This is a twelfth century statue of Saint Christopher, the patron saint of Barga. The most beautiful thing about the Chiesa, however, is the fantastic view you have from the square in front of the church. At the back of the lawn of the church is the Palazzo Pretoria, where the city museum is now located.

A piece of l'ora di Barga…
On my corner, from where I
only the remains of the wheat hear buzzing,
comes the sound of the hours with the wind
from the invisible mountain village:
a sound that is the same, that falls softly,
like a convincing voice.
You say: it is time; you say it's late
voice falling softly from the sky.
But let me look at it a little bit anyway
the tree, the spider, the bee, the stem,
things that are many centuries old or a year
or an hour old, and those clouds that go.
Leave me here unmoving
to remain in the midst of so much movement of wings and leaves;
and hear the rooster…
