On this square twice a year an ancient and heartfelt competition between crossbowmen, the Balestro del Girifalco, takes place, surrounded by flag-wavers and figures in medieval costume. Massa has 14th-century walls and fortifications and the stunning Gothic Church of St. Augustine, inside which is preserved the habit of St. Bernardine, who was born here in 1380.
