Aulla, Medieval commune in Lunigiana, Tuscany, Italy

The town of Aulla stands at the meeting point of the Magra and Aulella rivers, surrounded by hills and mountains in northern Tuscany.

The Centurione family acquired Aulla in 1543 and constructed the Brunella Fortress, which now houses the Museum of Natural History of Lunigiana.

The Abbey of San Caprasio contains archaeological findings, including Roman coins, medieval sculptures, and the monumental tomb of Saint Caprasio.

The town center offers weekly markets, traditional restaurants serving regional specialties, and direct access to the ancient Via Francigena pilgrimage route.

The museum at San Caprasio Abbey displays a replica of an unexploded World War II bomb, representing the extensive wartime damage the town endured.
