The city of Aulla has ancient origins, dating back to Roman times. It was an important trading center along the Via Francigena, one of the main pilgrimage routes that connected France to Rome. Thanks to its geographical position, Aulla became an essential stopping point for travelers and a center of political and economic power.

One of the most evocative places in Aulla is its historical center, characterized by narrow cobbled streets, ancient stone houses, and charming squares. Here, it is possible to admire the traditional Tuscan architecture and immerse yourself in the authentic atmosphere of a bygone era.

The abbey is an extraordinary example of Romanesque architecture and represents an important center of spirituality and culture.

Another attraction of Aulla is the Fortezza della Brunella, an imposing structure that dominates the city from the top of a hill. Built in the 12th century, the fortress was a medieval castle and later transformed into a stately residence.

You cannot visit Aulla without admiring the statue of Bettino Craxi, a politician of great importance in Italian history. This statue is a tribute to his contribution to the country's politics and is located in a central position, reflecting the matter he had in the life of Aulla.

Furthermore, Aulla is famous for the monument to the martyrs of Tangentopoli, commemorating those who have fought against political corruption. This monument is a symbol of hope and commitment to a better future.


In addition to its modern attractions, Aulla also boasts a rich archaeological heritage. Excavations at the ancient abbey of San Caprasio have brought to light numerous finds dating back to past centuries.
