Garfagnana & Rich in Medieval Hamlets and Towns



Mountains in Garfagnana
Garfagnana stretches in northern Tuscany between the Apuan Alps, the Apennines and Lunigiana First inhabited by the ancient tribes of Apuan Ligures and then colonized by the Roman, Garfagnana presents many different landscapes: from inaccessible mountains to the gentle hills in the south of the region.

Apart from its most renowned towns, such as Castelnuovo Garfagnana and Bagni di Lucca Garfagnana is scattered with small historical hamlets, such as Isola Santa, Orzagli, Cascio and Silico, which despite being often passed by on traditional tours, are really worth a visit.

The home of witches, elfs and hobgoblins, Garfagnana is the region of the famous "ghost town" of Fabbriche di Careggine, hidden under the waters of the artificial lake of Vagli.
