Marciana Marina (1900 inhabitants), is an important seaside resort located near a wooded area full of pine, oak and chestnut trees, so much so that in the past had become the place where were built and repaired ships using the wood from forests surroundings.
Evocative sight of old houses with outside stairs overlooking the sea. A pleasant walk in the centre of the village full of inviting shops, but especially along the marina where you can admire the lovely cylindrical Pisana Tower of Pisa, dating back to 11th century, later belonged to the Medici.
Do not miss a visit to the Shrine of Our Lady of Mount (Santuario della Madonna del Monte) dates from the 13th century set among the chestnut trees, inside which there is the miraculous image painted on te granite dating back to 1400; is said that in the hermitage next to the church, took place the love meetings between Napoleon and his Polish mistress, Marie Walewska.
