History of Massa
The territory of Massa has been inhabited since prehistoric times, as the remarkable findings, in the areas around the City called Monacelle and Tane, have shown. Both the Etruscan and Roman period have left important traces in the areas of Lago dell’Accesa, Poggio Castiglione and Massa Vecchia. In addition to the objects now visible in the Archaeological Museum, it …

On one of the pointed arches of the ground floor it’s possible to see a lily. The Grosso, coined in this place, has on one side a cross with two “M” at two …

All these buildings are made of local travertine stone.
Read More[2] It is the best known and most representative monument of Massa Marittima, one of the greatest examples of religious architecture in the Romanesque style in Italy.

Infact, in the 13th century, the feudal lords who became citizens of Massa had the obligation to have a house …
Read More[5] The building, which formerly was the residence of government representatives, is still today the Town Hall. The embattled three-storey building with mullioned windows, in the oldest part near via della Libertà, dates from the early 13th century.

Read More[11] In 1335, Massa, due to the reducing production of silver, signed a contract based on a level playing field with Siena allowing sienese soldiers to enter the City.
