The Santa Maria Assunta di Sarzana (Assumption of the Virgin Mary)cathedral is a mixture of the Romanesque and Gothic styles, reflecting the length of the period of its construction, from the early 13th to the late 15th century. The west front is made of of white marble, featuring a portal with a small Gothic rose window above it, between two side blocks of the 17th century. The campanile at the south side is the only remaining part of the previous Pieve di San Basilio. The ground plan is in the form of a Latin cross. The nave is divided into three aisles by two arcades of widely spaced polygonal columns supporting high arches. The cathedral is noted as the home of a relic of the Blood of Christ and of the important Romanesque Cross of Maestro Guglielmo of 1138. Sarzana Cathedral is also known as the location of the oldest known painted Italian crucifix. Entrance is free.

It's an imposing military fortification erected on the hill of Sarzana, and it overlooks the Magra Valley. Nowadays it's one of the symbol of the town.Known also as castracani, the fortress is composed by two main elements: the former is just the castle with its three bastions on the top, the latter is composed by a fortified embankment. Both the former and the latter form a kind of quad. Rich in charm, the structure undoubtedly deserves to be visited by those people who love culture.
