Carrara - Massa - The Apuan

Situated at the foot of the Apuan Alps, the province of Massa Carrara owes its world-wide fame to the white marble overhanging it.
Set in the northern most part of Tuscany, this zone is distinguished as a crossroads for important tourist destinations, since it is so close to the Cinque Terre and bordering with the most prestigious Italian art cities. The Apuan scenery offers a spectacular contrast between the sea that wets long sandy beaches, and the white mountains where many paths may be followed, immersed in the Alpine nature park.
Massa and Carrara are two outstanding cities of the territory, with plenty of monuments, squares and buildings, a prestigious evidence of man's ability in marble workmanship.
On the coast, Massa Marina and Carrara Marina, renowned sea resorts are worthy anticipation of beaches and places to visit of Versilia.
