The village of Equi Terme in the municipality of Fivizzano, is located on the slopes of Monte Pizzo d'Uccello within the Apuan Alps Regional Park.
The name of the village comes from the springs of sulphurous thermal waters, used since ancient times. The place was also inhabited in prehistoric times, as indicated by the findings at the Equi Caves.
The village is divided into two sections: the historic part, with its ancient stone houses, steep alleys, and vaulted passageways—dominated by the church and bell tower—lies on the left bank of the Lucido River. The modern part developed on the opposite bank in the 20th century, following the opening of the thermal spa and the construction of the railway.
Today, the community cooperative AlterEco offers guided tours and outdoor activities in the caves and the Solco di Equi, a fascinating natural canyon.
