Of particular natural and historical interest is the Mathildic road, that takes its name from the Grand Duchess Mathilda of Canossa: medieval castles, fortresses and towers on top of hills that dominate gentle valleys. The most famous one is the Castle of Canossa (X century), then follow the Castle of Carpineti, of Garzano of Rossena, of Bianello.
