Historical buildings vs Modern Sculptures

Spectacular Massa Marittima

We spent nearly an entire day in this enchanting Tuscan town. It is quite larger than some of the other towns such as San Gimignano, Volterra, etc. DEFINATELY WORTH THE VISIT!

The historical buildings mixed with modern sculptures created quite a special image that will remain with us for a very, very long time.

The food is awesome and the people here are so much friendlier than in some of the other Tuscan towns we visited.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Historical Architecture, Huge Modern Sculptures, Friendly Residents!
Cons:Having to park away from the "old town" due to traffic constrictions - it's quite a walk.
In a nutshell:A must-see if travelling through Tuscany
