With this aim, the archaeological parks of Maremma have therefore developed a series of events and special initiatives, which will take place in all three different areas, aimed at making the varied cultural heritage of the area and the its stimulating identity.

You can still see the impressive infrastructure created to give safe shelter to boats (piers and breakwaters made of limestone blocks) and to avoid silting up the port itself. Next to it there is the suggestive “Spacco della Regina”, a fissure that makes room in the low rock face, whose history and legends will be possible to learn about.
