Massa Marittima: A Journey Through History, Art, and Nature

Located inland in the province of Grosseto, Massa Marittima is nestled in the heart of the Colline Metallifere, an area rich in natural beauty and history. Its Romanesque Cathedral of San Cerbone overlooks the charming Piazza Garibaldi, featuring a unique architectural perspective found nowhere else in the world.

The historic center boasts landmarks like the Palazzo del Podestà, the Palazzo del Comune, the Loggia del Mercato, and the Zecca. The Fonte dell’Abbondanza, home to the rediscovered Tree of Fertility fresco from 1999, is another must-see.

In the upper part of town, the impressive Sienese Fortress with the Torre del Candeliere offers breathtaking views. Among the local museums: San Pietro all’Orto, the Archaeological Museum, the Mining Museum, and the Antique Carpentry Museum.

Explore the region’s finest wineries, such as Tenuta Il Tesoro, set in the rolling Maremma hills, and La Rocca di Frassinello, designed by Renzo Piano, where wine meets Etruscan history.

For a gourmet stop, experience the tradition of Taverna del Vecchio Borgo or the Michelin-starred creativity of Bracali, where flavors blend in perfect harmony.
