   Is Carrara a good place to visit?

   • In the centre is the statue of the Duchess of Massa and Carrara Maria Beatrice d’Este, in sumptuos marble vestments, a lion relaxing at her feet. Outside the square however, there’s not much going on in Carrara. It’s a quiet place full of streets and shops in need of restoration. That being said, the Cathedral makes it worth the trip.
