Art

Surely to visit, is the S. Maria Assunta's Cathedral, built probably on a preceding temple of V century
b.C. in honor to Jupiter; a curiosity is represented by the Mulino Spagnolo at the begin of the "dam" that join the city to the Argentario Mountain. Really interesting is the S. Francesco di Paola church and also the one consecrated to the Madonna delle Grazie (this one finely frescoed). Etruscan towns and burial sites scattered trough the Maremma hinterland form the destination for fascinating excursions and archeological visits. Enchanting medieval villages preserved in their original condition are also characteristic of this area. Capalbio with medieval architecture and wild Mediterranean scrub evoke a sense of unforgettable tranquility. For Modern Art the fantastic Tarot Garden of Niki De Saint Phalle, an artist of international renown, whose works, made of mirrors and brightly colored ceramics, represent the mysterious symbols of the Tarots.

Nature

In the Maremma its natural beauty is well preserved, with its particular landscapes and the quality of its products. There are many protected areas in parks and natural reserves. It unveils itself as a beautiful and untamed land, unspoiled and abundant, caressed by sun and sea, brimming with those natural perfumes that only a carefully protected natural environment can provide. From Talamone to Capalbio you will find kilometres of beaches and inlets; Giglio, a large and beautiful pearly island in the sea, or Montecristo, a deserted island, or Giannutri with the ruins of the Roman villas are well worth your visit. And the Argentario, a headland which appears to be a vessel, moored to the coast at both ends, the Tomboli of Giannella and Feniglia. Between the two is the backwater of Orbetello.
