Grosseto
Grosseto lies in the plain of Tuscan Maremma, a few Kilometres away from Tirrenian sea.
The Medicean city walls are a major tourist attraction. A new line of walls were built by Francesco I de Medici in 1574, replacing the original ones dating from the 12th-14th centuries. There are two main gates: Porta Nuova on the north and Porta Reale (now Porta Vecchia) on the south. The walls are now used as a public park and walking area.
Situated in an area rich in naturalistic and cultural value, Grosseto has both agricultural and industrial sectors and is an important crossroads on the train route from Rome. The splendid Maremma coast, favoring the development of a cultivated tourism that respects the environment, includes the Nature Park of the Uccellina and the beautiful hinterlands, rich in archaeological sights and medieval towns.
