Santo Stefano di Magra is part of the regional natural park of Montemarcello-Magra, and boasts a territory rich of historical architectures, nestled in a picturesque landscape, which from the hills dominated by the ancient villages descends towards the river Magra.

Along with the pilgrims came ideas, culture and trade, and the medieval road helped make it known also as an important market place, starting from the 9th century.
