The Medieval village of Marciana Marina

Today the medieval village still saves the features of its original building.

It lies inside its ancient ring of walls and it is surrounded by a thick wood.

It is possible to enter to the village of Marciana Marina passing through a square placed at the entrance of the village.

From where it is possible to enjoy a beautiful sight towards both the blue sea, laping the coast, and the sweep of the lands covered by vineyards, ilex-trees and chestnut-trees.
