Accommodations in Massa Toscana
Owing to its
strategic location along the ancient road called Via Francigena,
Massa was once the rest place for pilgrims travelling from France to
Rome. Upto the 11th century Massa belonged to the Bishops of Luni.
However, the most significant marks on the town were left by two
noted families the Malaspinas and CyboMalaspinas, who ruled Massa
for 3 centuries from 1440.

The core of Massa is
Piazza Aranci named after the orange trees that border the square on
three sides. On the remaining side there is the impressive Duke's
Palace (Palazzo Ducale, also known as the "red palace" because of
its flame red facade) which was build in 1550. Its spacious inner
courtyard is of extraordinary beauty. Malaspina Castle is situated
just a few minutes walk above the town centre. The base of the
square tower is the oldest part, which is flanked by three
cylindrical towers enclosed by an embattled curtain wall.
