The village of Equi Terme in the municipality of Fivizzano, is located on the slopes of Monte Pizzo d'Uccello within the Regional Park of the Apuan Alps.
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 parts, the ancient stone houses, steep alleys and vaulted galleries, dominated by the church and the bell tower on the left bank of the River Lucido. The modern part developed on the opposite bank in the 20th century with the opening of the spa and the construction of the railway.
Today, the community cooperative AlterEco offers guided tours and outdoor activities to the caves and “Solco di Equi”, a fascinating canyon.
