The Maremma is a land steeped in history: first the Etruscans, then the Romans, followed by the feudal families, all have left traces  of their lives in this fascinating land.

In Maremma, it is possible to visit many Etruscan-Roman archeologic sites:

• Roselle is a few chilometres outside Grosseto. This archeological area exhibits Etruscan and Roman artefacts, together with various Domus, (homes) the amphitheatre, the house with the Impluvium and the Forum area.
• Sovana is in south of the Maremma, and it is an important Etruscan archeological area with various, world-famous tombs: the Hildebranda Tomb and the Tomb of the Mermaid. In the Cavone locality is the Etruscan road hollowed out through volcanic tufa rock with inscriptions along the walls.
• Vetulonia: in the township of Castiglione della Pescaia the most famous Etruscan town, the Tomb of the Pietrera and the Tomb of the Diavolino 11 ( little devil) are a must-see.
• Pitigliano: the hollow roads of Pitigliano,  dug through the volcanic lava by the Etruscans are unique the world over.
• Lago dell'Accesa: a few chilometres away from Massa Marittima, around this fascinating lake, several necropoli have been uncovered, dating back to the Vll -Vl centuries B.C.
• Ansedonia: in this area belonging to the Orbetello township, the ruins of the Ancient Roman colony Cosa have been uncovered, including the House of the Skeleton, another ’not to be missed’.
• The Island of Giannutri: remains of a Roman Villa of the Domitian Era.
• Scarlino: our little town is to found in one of the historic localities with the best preserved traces of the Aldobrandeschi dynasty. The imposing Rocca Pisana and various, delightful, medieval buildings are definitely a must-visit.
• Massa Marittima: called the Jewel of the Middle Ages due to the beauty of its buildings, in the Xlll century this township was already a free municipality and is famous for having drawn up the Primo Codice Minerario (the First Mining Code, regulating the exploitation of the mines). An important landmark is the Duomo (the Cathedral).
• Magliano in Toscana: its massive walls, surrounding the historic centre can be seen from afar; the Palazzi dei Priori e del Capitano are a must.
• Capalbio: in the South of the Maremma region, this small, charming town, also known as  “little Athens”, has maintained almost intact its original, medieval layout. Among its attractions is the sentinel’s route along the city-walls.

Other townships and medieval villages in the Maremma worth visiting include:

• Pitigliano: the township built into the volcanic rock (tufa), with its Jewish ghetto, synagogue and cemetery which all gave the village the knickname “little Jerusalem”. The town was built by the Romans and governed, over the centuries by various, important, historically famous families: the Aldobrandeschi, Orsini, Medici...
• Sorano: perching on a tufa cliff, like nearby Pitigliano, besides its Etruscan ruins this little town is also distinguished by the unquestionable charm of its medieval quarter.
• Castell'Azzara: also the historical nucleus of this small village, with its steep, tortuous streets should not be left out.
