The Medieval village of Vecchiano

The town of Vecchiano has a secular history whose marks are still visible in the numerous monuments placed both inside and outside the town.

From Vecchiano it is possible to enjoy a wonderful sight on the green hills covering its territory and also to take naturalistic courses in the rich green vegetation or to visit very suggestive close places.

In the highest part of the town, that is still surrounded by its ancient ring of walls, it is possible to admire the remains of an ancient Etruscan fortress.

Going down to the valley it is possible to see the Avane Castle that once was used as a controlling place of the trading activity developing along the Serchio river.

One of the most suggestive places that Vecchiano offers to its visitors is the bathing resort of Marina di Vecchiano, placed in a wonderful natural park coasted along a shore of golden sand, close to a rich Mediterranean vegetation.
