Barga differs from other Lucca castels in that even when under the protection of Florence, it was governed by an elected party. This indipendence was recognised by the Countess Matilda of Canossa, Margravia of Tuscan, and riconfirmed by the emperor of the holy roman empire, Frederik 1st. Barga is the most elegant urban centre of the Valley. The new part is mostly made up of nice villas, often in Liberty Style. The historical center conserves intact the medieval urban street plan and has some austere renaissance buildings. The romanesque cathedral on the top of the hill is beautiful and looks onto the Serchio Valley.
