Massa Marittima: a village to discover

Massa Marittima - Massa Marittima is a municipality located in the province of Grosseto, in Tuscany. It is considered one of the main municipalities in the area of the Grosseto Metalliferous Hills. Massa Marittima has obtained important awards for its environmental quality, as a tourist city. Although it rises only 17 kilometers from the Tyrrhenian sea, it has a typical setting of an inland village, surrounded by greenery, with a historic center rich in history and traditions.

The path along the city streets leads the visitor in front of the beauties that testify to the flourishing Communal Period, in which Massa obtained freedom from the Bishop Conte, begun in 1225. In the main square, one of the most beautiful in Italy, we find the beautiful Palazzo Comunale and Palazzo del Podestà, as well as the suggestive Cathedral of San Cerbone, dating back to the mid-thirteenth century. The Cathedral is the main religious building of the Metalliferous Hills: it represents one of the most important monuments of Romanesque architecture in the Maremma and Tuscany. Inside, among the numerous works, there is a baptismal font by Giroldo da Como from the 15th century and a Madonna with Child by Duccio di Buoninsegna.
