Holidays in Grosseto - Tourist information about Grosseto

This is the largest chief town of Tuscany, located south of the territory in the area of Maremma and has about 81,000 inhabitants. Grosseto stands on a land mostly flat, just 12 km from the sea, on the coast lie the localities of Marina di Grosseto and Principina a Mare. Already existing as a permanent settlement in the Etruscan period, the first hint of a real village is due to the Lombard conquest of the seventh century. In more modern times, when the city was largely formed, the florentine lordship of Medici wanted to add it to his domains for the strategic importance that covered, thanks to its proximity to the sea and to its countryside cultivated with wheat. The Medici family wanted to further fortify the city and entrusted the work of building walls to the architect Lanci then replaced by his son who finished the work. It was part of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany until the plebiscite of 1860 that sanctioned the Unification of Italy. Heavily bombed during World War II, was able to get up and arrive at establish itself as a major agricultural and craft center in southern Tuscany. Grosseto is one of the few cities that still retains all of its original city walls (about 3 km), today is a pedestrian and a bicycle path. Inside is located the old town which can be reached through the ancient gates built along the walls. Is worth visiting the Cathedral of San Lorenzo, or simply the Duomo di Grosseto, built around 1300 in gothic style, marble-fronted two-tone red and white. The Palazzo Aldobrandeschi, named after the family who detained the power of the city in Middle Ages, now houses the headquarters of the province. Both of them, the Duomo and the palace, overlook, together with Palazzo del Comune or the city hall (1867), on the magnificent Piazza Dante, in the past political and religious center of the city. City's economy is based on tourism, particularly in the coastal zone, agriculture and livestock. Are cultivated mainly cereals and even vines and olive trees in the hills producing excellent wine and oil. Since Maremma meat of native cattle is very valuable and appreciated, in the grasslands outside the city there are several farms where works the figure of the buttero, the italian version of cowboy.|Grosseto
