Filattiera

Villages and Hamlets

The name of the capital, deriving from the term Fulacterion, with which the Byzantines indicated the fortifications placed at the barrier of strategic points of great importance, clearly indicates its origin over time and its structural characteristics.
The village of Filattiera preserves the first settlement of the thirteenth century intact, with the Castrense church of San Giorgio and the watchtower and, perfectly legible, the development of the village of the following centuries with the Malaspinian castle, the church, the ancient hospital of San Giacomo.
