Piazza Matteotti Square, Sarzana

The Heart of Historic Sarzana

Piazza Giacomo Matteotti is the principal square of Sarzana's walled centro storico, a graceful open space ringed by centuries-old palazzi in warm ochre and rose tones. This real-time view, hosted by the town council, looks eastward across the heart of the old town.

Monuments and Architecture

At the square's center stands the Monument to the Fallen of the First World War, surrounded by stately historic buildings and arcaded facades that recall Sarzana's long history at the crossroads of Liguria and Tuscany.

A Living Town Square

Beneath the palazzi, inviting cafe terraces and a vintage carousel give the piazza its convivial character, while market days and town events bring the centre to life. The wooded hills of the Val di Magra rise gently beyond the rooftops.
