The Territory

The landscape of the Val di Cornia is the result of millennia of interaction between people and the environment. Rich in material resources, this territory unites human works and history in a series of revealing, unique locations along the Tuscan coast.

The fortified village of Populonia represents the result of centuries of history in which it served a vital role in the defense and development of the territory.

The allure of the Etruscans, who lived in Populonia for centuries, is contained in this small museum, preserving discoveries which recount their history and daily life.

An ongoing archaeological excavation where the past is brought to life.

The marks left by people on the landscape recount a story stretching millennia.
