The city of Massa Marittima rises on a hill 380 meters high in the heart of 'Colline Metallifere', hills of the Alta Maremma. It can easily be reached from Siena following SS73 up to the crossing point of the 'Madonnino', then SS441 up to the junction with SS439 that, following the direction to Follonica, leads just under the walls of the 'old town'. Massa Marittima, that despite the name is more than twenty kilometres far from the sea, is considered one of the medieval jewels of Tuscany. Its origins are wounded by mystery, traces of an human settlement of the Bronze Age has been found in its outskirts. In the Etruscan period the zone was known for the wealth of its mines, probably the city was the 'Massa Veternense' of Roman Age.
