Campiglia Marittima: a Tuscan jewel waiting to be discovered Nestled in the heart of the Val di Cornia, Campiglia Marittima is one of the most charming villages in southern Tuscany, not far from Livorno. Perched on a gentle hill, surrounded by glistening olive groves, lush vineyards and fragrant Mediterranean scrub, this village is the quintessence of ancient Tuscan traditions. Its structures are arranged in a harmonious semicircle around the historic center, giving visitors a unique sense of balance. Another treasure to explore is the San Silvestro Archeominerario Park, a place that holds evidence of the ancient Etruscan civilization: here you can breathe history and learn about metal mining techniques, from the distant Etruscan era to the present day. Among the park’s points of interest is the Temperino Mine, a fascinating gallery that reveals the secrets of mining practices, a journey through time to understand a work that has left indelible marks on the earth. The Miner’s Museum enriches this experience with photos and documents that tell the story of the miners’ lives. An existence of challenges and hard work, characterized by a resilience that opposed the closure of the mines

Here tourists can immerse themselves in the memories of a craft that has almost disappeared today. A visit to Campiglia Marittima could not be said to be complete without exploring the Museums of the Rocca di Campiglia. The majestic remains of this fortress, commissioned by the powerful Della Gherardesca family, dominate the panorama from their vantage point on the hill. These ancient walls convey the political greatness achieved in the 12th century and offer breathtaking views of the Val di Cornia. Guest House Vecchia Fonte is located just 400 meters from the medieval village of Campiglia Marittima
