Palazzo Malfatti, Historic Residence

Highlight • Historical Site

Opposite the Town Hall, this imposing structure, dominated by its large loggia, stands at the end of the square. The building dates back to the 13th century and has also undergone numerous renovations and restorations. The loggias themselves were demolished because they were unsafe and rebuilt between the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In a niche within the loggia, you can see a fresco of the Madonna depicted between Saint Joseph and Saint Andrew.

Massa Marittima Historic Center

Highlight • Historical Site

In 1335, Massa Marittima lost its political autonomy, having to yield to the conquest of Siena, which had long been attempting to seize control of the Massa Marittima mines. A period of economic and demographic decline followed, further exacerbated by the plague of 1348.
Despite the serious problems, however, mining activity was never completely abandoned, although it was certainly significantly reduced. The Medici family, who incorporated the province of Siena into the Grand Duchy in 1557, attempted some interventions to promote the area's recovery, while a significant revival occurred in 1737 with the arrival of the House of Lorraine as successors to the extinct Medici family.

Fonti dell'Abbondanza and the Tree of Fertility Fresco

Highlight • Historical Site

The entire city was once supplied with water from here and played a strategic role. There was also a grain store here.
Of course, you can also see the famous fresco of the “Tree of Fertility” here, with many phalluses hanging like fruits in the tree.

Massa Marittima

Highlight • Settlement

Massa boasts one of the most beautiful squares in Tuscany! This stunning and unusual star-shaped medieval square is Piazza Garibaldi, a sort of open-air theater bordered by the city's most important historic buildings: the majestic Cathedral of San Cerbone, the Palazzo del Podestà, home to the Archaeological Museum, the Palazzina dei Conti di Biserno, the Palazzo dei Priori, now the town hall, Palazzo Malfatti with its loggia, and, more secluded, the Palazzo delle Fonti dell'Abbondanza.

This little hike was suggested by Komoot. She was correspondingly boring. It was nice through cork oaks and laurel forest but hardly any views.
