Very interesting and elegant, well presented museum. Might be hard for people who don't understand Italian. Definitely worth a visit. Unfortunately we couldn't visit the walls of the castle as they were partially blocked off for a function.

Yesterday was the last day of our week long holiday in Lunigiana, and before driving to Bologna airport we had a few hours to kill. The day before we had discovered Pontremoli, a lovely town which we wish we'd discovered earlier in the week. We returned yesterday as we'd heard about the castle and the Statue Stele, and having had coffee and pastries and a walk around the wonderful town centre and the Duomo, we walked up the lovely cobbled streets to the castle. The castle itself is fabulous, and really interesting to walk around. Very well worth a visit in its own right, but the Statue Stele stole the show. The story about their history and how they were dispersed over such a huge area had us absolutely intrigued, and the way that they were displayed was superb. A first class exhibition, and very well worth a visit if you are in the area. Give Pontremoli some time too, and you won't be disappointed!
