The Province of Grosseto lies in southern Tuscany. Grosseto the capital city is hemmed in by the hexagonal 16th century wall and dominated by the impressive Medici Fortress. Important monuments of particular interest are the Romanesque-Gothic Cathedral, with its abundant collection of artworks; the Church of San Francesco and the Maremma Museum of Archaeology and Art which conserves important local paintings and archaeological finds.
This province reaches from the slopes of the Colline Metallifere to the border with Lazio, comprising the assorted landscapes of the Maremma. Within the heart of the Colline Metallifere is a town of appreciable artistic value, one of the province’s most important Massa Marittima, with its Medieval splendour preserved intact. Strolling through its centre invites reverence of its fine monuments, among them the Romanesque-Gothic Cathedral, the Palazzo Pretorio and the Cassero Sienese Fortress, linked to the Candeliere Tower by a unique bridge with flying buttresses. Finally, outside the city lies Lake Accesa. This is an area of great natural value, evidenced by the Archaeological Park bearing remnants left over from the Etruscan Civilisation.
Traditional villages are still abundant in the area, like Scansano, home of Morellino wine; Civitella Marittima with numerous narrow streets and Renaissance buildings; Capalbio, the romantic Medieval village and Manciano with its neighbouring thermal spa complex of Saturnia.
The varied coastline between the Gulf of Follonica and the estuary of the Chiarone River presents sceneries of exceptional beauty dominated by pine forests and crystal-clear waters.
