Massa, Provincial capital in northern Tuscany, Italy.

Located between the Apuan Alps and Ligurian Sea, Massa extends across varied terrain at 65 meters above sea level with marble-rich mountains surrounding it.

The city developed from a Roman settlement into a medieval stronghold, marked by the construction of the Malaspina Castle that controlled regional trade routes.

The Malaspina Castle houses exhibitions of local artifacts and documents, while the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Francis displays Renaissance architectural elements.

Regular train services connect Massa to Florence and Pisa, with the station situated in the central district providing access to local bus networks.

The municipal territory includes both mountain peaks suitable for hiking and Mediterranean beaches within a distance of 10 kilometers.
