Massa occupies a foothill plain between the Apuan Alps and the Tyrrhenian coast in northern Tuscany. The Frigido River descends from the mountains through the city, while the pale marble faces of the Apuan range define the inland horizon. Above the centre, Malaspina Castle recalls the Cybo-Malaspina dynasty, whose state of Massa and Carrara connected the town to the renowned marble district around Carrara. Piazza Aranci and the Ducal Palace preserve the civic setting of Massa’s former court, distinct from the beach resorts at Marina di Massa.
