Massa Centro

Massa Centro isn't actually a town itself, but rather a district (frazione) within the larger commune of Massa in Tuscany, Italy. Being part of Massa, Massa Centro shares the town's rich history. Massa dates back to the 8th century and flourished as a medieval urban center in the 11th and 12th centuries. It was later the capital of the independent Principality of Massa and Carrara, ruled by the Malaspina and Cybo-Malaspina families. The main square in Massa Centro is Largo Vescovado. Here, you'll find the Town Hall, the Former Cathedral of Santa Maria delle Grazie, and the adjacent Oratory of the Arciconfraternita della Morte e Orazione.
