and a small museum nearby.
In the midst of olive trees You can admire the ruins of Roman
Thermae (Thermal baths) from a suggestive
panoramic spot.

distance you can enjoy the magnificent view of the
Roman Ruins, the
marsh canals of the lake of Massaciuccoli and the Tyrrhenian sea.

TORRE
DEL LAGO
Torre
del Lago is known to music lovers because Giacomo Puccini spent
there most of his life. You can visit his house and in the
summer attend the Opera Season dedicated to the well-known
composer.
Nature lovers can find more about the lake from guides and there
is the possibility of hiring boats.
There are also boating courses for sport lovers.
IL
LAGO DI VAGLI
The
lake of Vagli is situated in the heart of the Apuan Alps. It is
a huge artificial basin created in 1947 with a dam stopping the
flow of the river Edron.
To be able to create this basin a small village named Fabbriche
di Careggine, centre of iron works, had to disappear completely
under the water. Only occasionally the lake is emptied for
maintenance purposes, then
you
can see the ghostly structure of the village that keeps intact
all its characteristics.
