Campiglia Marittima

Medieval village that still preserves within its walls numerous historical. And ‘situated on the top of a hill (280 m asl) covered with olive trees and Mediterranean vegetation that dominates the Val di Cornia until the sea which is not more than 5 km. The modern expression of Campiglia is represented by Venturina, an agricultural center developed recently in the plain below, near which there are hot springs with curative properties.

We are in the extreme south of the province of Livorno, in that part of Tuscany that was anciently called Maremma Pisa. Leaving the Via Aurelia at the junction of Venturina, or near St. Vincent, and penetrating eastward through olive groves and verdant Mediterranean, after a few kilometers, on the top of a hill not far from the sea, appears Campiglia Marittima.

The nearby Archaeological Park-mining Rocca di San Silvestro, a site of great historical and cultural importance archeominerario. The fortified village, which today we can admire the remains, was built in the X century. under the rule of the Counts of Gherardesca.
