Ponzanello Stone Archway

Highlight • Monument

Ponzanello is a small, fortified village located in the Lunigiana region. The village stands on a hill overlooking the valley, along the access roads to the Lunigiana plain and the Tyrrhenian coast.
Ponzanello Castle still dominates the valley from above. Although it has not been restored and maintained over time, it is still possible to admire the structure. In the past there were four entrance gates and a triple curtain wall.
Some of the oldest buildings in Ponzanello are the Church of San Martino, also known as the Old Church from the 12th century, and the Chapel of San Filippo Neri, the New Church from the 13th century.
