During your stay in Lunigiana region you can visiting the "Stele Museum" and the "Piagnaro Castle" in Pontremoli. The Piagnaro castle dominates the town from its hill near the main piazza. It was built to control access to several important passes over the Apennines, and now it controls the icons of Lunigiana - the stele statues. To reach the castle you must climb up, true, but it's through the evocative Piagnaro neighborhood, the original center of Pontremoli. This jumble of stone buildings and narrow lanes suggests a photo at every turn. It doesn't matter which lane you take, just go up already - the views from the castle will make the climb worthwhile. Most of the castle is now the Museum of the Stele Statues. Stele are the indigenous stone statues of Lunigiana- the oldest date back 5,000 years and are evidence of a prehistoric people who fashioned the hard local sandstone into mysterious warriors and figures with feminine traits. The characteristic arched-top sculptures, carved with rough facial features, are the symbol of Lunigiana. No one knows whether the meanings of the stele were religious or territorial or social or all of the above. The Museum intrigues the visitor with the origin question, factually and visually, and adds cultural ambiance to this rocky inheritance. It's a fascinating visit, and English speakers will benefit from renting the audio guide.

A wonderful atmosphere inside this ancient castle in which you can find all the Statue Stele, particular type of menhir, dating back about 4000 years ago.

Il Museo all’interno della prestigiosa cornice del castello del Piagnaro di Pontremoli, offre la possibilità di un suggestivo ed emozionante viaggio alla scoperta del Megalitismo e di queste antiche testimonianze scolpite nella pietra arenaria dalle popolazioni vissute tra il IV e il I millennio a.C. e rappresentano ancora oggi un enigma in parte irrisolto. Le più antiche statue stele in Italia sono quelle della Lunigiana.
