The theater: of it remains only the marble inscription on the lintel of the door, a n evidence of the passion for the theater of the inhabitants of Fosdinovo since 1700.
Antica Zecca Marchionale: it operated in the second half of 1600 and minted coins in gold alloy, silver, low alloy and ... false coins! A part of the original structure is preserved by the Tower Malaspina.
St. Remigius Church: it was built in the late '500 on the remains of a smaller church dating back to 1200. Particularly noteworthy are the marble statue of the patron saint of 1300 S. Remigio, the tomb of Malaspina Jailbird (1367), and the organ of Serassi.
Oratorio dei Rossi (dei Rossi Oratory): you can see the beautiful wooden crucifix called "Christ in agony" made in 1600 and the main marble altar. The Oratory is connected with the church of St. Remigius.
Oratorio dei Bianchi: the existing small chapel was destroyed by a fire in 1501; miraculously the wooden statue of the SS. Annunciation of the fourteenth century survived. The church was soon rebuilt, enlarged and embellished in 1666 with the façade and the square marble.
Viewpoints on the Ligurian Sea: from the top of Fosdinovo you can see the valley of the river Magra, Portovenere and Palmaria, and, especially in clear days, Capraia, Gorgona, Elba and Corsica islands.
