Nearby, the archaeological site of Roselle reveals ancient Etruscan and Roman ruins, while the Maremma Natural Park visitor center provides access to the region’s preserved coastal landscapes and the 16th-century Torre di Collelungo.

Parks and Nature

Grosseto's green spaces bridge the gap between historic military architecture and the wild landscapes of the Maremma. The city's 16th-century Medicean walls house the Bastione Rimembranza, while the surrounding territory features the Sentiero Faunistico wildlife trail and the Paludetto wetlands near the Ombrone River mouth. Within the city, larger recreational areas like Parco Sandro Pertini and Parco Ombrone provide accessible paths and riverfront views, showcasing the region's diverse transition from urban fortifications to coastal marshes.
