Local Village - Iera

View of Iera and Local Mountains

Iera (or Jera) is a small and peaceful medieval village perched in the Lunigiana hills. It offers splendid views over the valley and it is surrounded by picturesque woods of chestnut trees.

There are approx. 50 local inhabitants only, so …do not expect a busy tourist place, but be prepared to unwind and relax in the breeze of the summer wind.

In the little piazza there is a beautiful church and a characteristic drinking fountain that gives you fresh water from the Appennines above. A short walk through the narrow medieval streets will bring you to the remains of an old Roman viaduct and a very pretty stream which flows down the valley to the medieval town of Bagnone (6km).

Small shops and cafes can be found in the wonderful medieval town of Bagnone, where you can discover all the local produce or just take a stroll in the old ‘borgo’.
