Marciana Marina

Country rich in historical traces and breathtaking panoramic views

On the opposite side of the bay rises the Cotone which is the oldest part of Marciana Marina, originally a few fishermen's houses, which later, after reclamation of the narrow coastal plain, expanded along the beach to the keep.

The link with a past in which centuries of history and popular culture have woven a robust and supportive urban and social fabric is easily noticeable while walking along the promenade bordered by tamarisks or through the narrow streets that lead inside, among the small plots of land jealously fenced.

No less evident than the ancient peasant vocation is the influence that the sea has exerted on the Marines. The wealth of fish and the protected landing have always favored fishing and since the beginning of the century, Marciana Marina raised a true elite of commanders and long-time admirals employed on all the Atlantic routes.
