The charms of the Italian Maremma region

The southwestern part of Italian Tuscany is occupied by the Maremma coastal plain. Its originally swampy area, stretching from the Tyrrhenian Sea to the Montalcino hills, was transformed into an agricultural region as a result of drainage works carried out in the 20th century. The main city of the lowland is Grosseto. There are also tourist resorts worth seeing - Marina di Grosseto, Principina a Mare, Castiglione della Pescaia, Punta Ala and Punta Talamone.

The Maremma region is a charming and diverse landscape, with a 130-kilometer coastline with beaches, pine forests, stone shores and numerous coves that serve as tourist marinas . This region is also distinguished by its great historical value - you can find plenty of archaeological sites dating back to the times of ancient Rome.

Historic towns and clean beaches

The heart of the Maremma region is the town of Grosseto. Its development took place during the reign of the Etruscans, while the road network was expanded during the reign of the Roman Empire. The most famous remnant of this period is the Via Aurelia road.

The town's rich history is reflected in the stunning Piazza Dante square, which is home to many important and historic buildings. In this place you will also find the Neo-Gothic palace, Palazzo Provinciale , made of travertine.

After seeing the most important monuments of the city, it is worth taking a long walk along the sandy beach of Marina di Alberese . It is a wild area, left in its natural state, which is part of the Maremma Natural Park . When looking for relaxation in the bosom of nature, we should go to the Monti dell'Uccellina reserve, located between the beach and the town of Alberese .

While relaxing in the Maremma region, it is worth visiting a small seaside town located in a pine forest - Marina di Grosseto . A little further away lies another historic town that developed in the Middle Ages - Castiglione della Pescaia . Its old town, dating from the 15th century, is located on a hill, and a modern agglomeration is growing at its foot.
