What to see and do
Vezzano Ligure includes two villages, Vezzano Basso (lower Vezzano) and Vezzano Alto (upper Vezzano). Both villages were built in strategic positions overlooking the Magra Valley.
In the Middle Ages, Vezzano was under the domain of the Lords of Vezzano. Many buildings from this period are still intact. The most important remaining construction is the Pentagonal Tower in the Malaspina family castle. Other interesting sites include, the Baroque Parish Church of Santa Maria Assunta and San Sebastiano in Vezzano Basso and the Church of Nostra Signoria del Soccorso in Vezzano Alto. A beautiful polychromatic stone paved piazza, with an ancient central well, is located in front of the Church of Nostra Signoria del Soccorso in Vezzano Alto.
Hiking, cycling paths and horse riding are some of the activities to be found in the Parco Regionale di Montemarcello-Magra, located along the Magra River below Vezzano (info: www.parcomagra.it).
Today, Vezzano Ligure is a quiet town. It offers a perfect holiday stay for those who love the simple pleasures of local cuisine and country traditions.
