You come to Pulica only if you want really arrive there or if you turn by mistake at the fork on the SS446.

Small hamlet settled in a dale of the Lunigiana and overlooked by the peak of the Pizzo d’Uccello, near the old road that joined Fosdinovo to Fivizzano.
As many other Apennine villages it is quite deserted.
The one who loves the scent of the past certainly will admire the stone houses and the typical archways.
Today only a family resists to depopulation and manages both a tavern and the sole shop of the hamlet.

A bit of history:
Near Pulica there are remains of graves and necropolis dating back to 3rd century BC.
The first documentation is dated 879 and is a parchment of the archiepiscopal archive of Lucca.
During the Byzantine age the fork between the roads from Luni to Lucca and the one leading to Liguria was probably placed at Pulica as related by the Anonimo Ravennate in his Cosmographia.
It was quite completely destroyed at half 1300 but by 1398 it was rebuilt.
In 1600 the castle built in 1200 by the bishop of Luni was transformed in the church dedicate to St. John Baptist.
In 1467 it joined the marquisate of Fosdinovo.
This union ended in 1797 with the rise of the Repubblica Cisalpina.
