The hamlet of Villafranca, despite the destruction of several architectural masterpieces during World War II, still preserves monuments of great prestige.The Church of San Francesco with its cloister and the convent, which now hosts a scientific superior school, were restored following the antique structural layout. Only a few ruins are what is left of the Malaspina castle, but you may also visit the Church of San Giovanni. Very interesting to see is the Lunigiana Ethnographic Museum found at the beginning of the hamlet. Located inside an arrangement of old mills where many objects representing the customs, habits and rituals of the popular culture of this area are gathered.
