Forte dei Marmi

Forte dei Marmi Essentials

Forte dei Marmi serves as a premier destination on the Versilia coast, defined by its 18th-century military history and 20th-century luxury. The town originated around the Forte Lorenese, a defensive structure used to guard the marble trade from the Apuan Alps. Today, the area is characterized by high-end beach clubs like Bagno Twiga, the historic La Capannina nightclub, and the Piazza Marconi market. Cultural sites include the Museum of Satire and the 19th-century Church of Sant’Ermete, reflecting the town's evolution from a fortified port to a refined seaside retreat.
