Bismillah Assalamu Alaikum
Crossed by the Serchio River, Borgo in Mozzano is located 20 kilometers from Lucca. It is watched by Mount Bargiglio, on whose summit are the remains of that ancient signal tower that was "the Eye of Lucca", from which Castiglione Garfagnana, Baths of Lucca, Brancoli and Lucca were controlled. It takes a ten-minute walk along the trail to reach the summit, and thus enjoy the view of the village and its surroundings.
Having been built by Matilda of Canossa, however, it is the Bridge that is the real reason why you go to Borgo in Mozzano. Located on the Serchio River, it has a very special structure with that wide and almost unnatural higher arch. Reconstructed by the Ghibellino leader Castruccio Castracani, it was severely damaged by a flood of the Serchio in 1836 and then modified in the early twentieth century.
