Campiglia Marittima

Situated on a hill overlooking the sea and the surrounding countryside, Campiglia Marittima is one of the loveliest old hill towns on the Costa degli Etruschi.
Here in heart of the Val di Cornia where ancient traditions live on, remains bearing witness to the Etruscan, Roman and Medieval civilisations can be found.
This hill town, formerly a medieval castle, is full of history and tradition. The streets, the paved alleys and the buildings are harmoniously arranged in concentric semi-circles, and city walls enclose teh old town.
Palazzo Pretorio, the ancient seat of political and military power, houses a historical archive and a museum of interesting archeological finds.
The churches are of particolar interest, among them the Church of San Giovanni, a splendid example of Tuscan-Romanesque style.
