Porto Santo Stefano, Coastal town in Monte Argentario, Tuscany, Italy
Porto Santo Stefano extends along the western slopes of Mount Argentario, featuring two harbors and a network of narrow streets leading to the Spanish fortress.
The settlement gained strategic importance during the 16th century as part of the State of Presidi, leading to the construction of defensive fortifications against maritime threats.
The Palio Marinaro rowing competition in August involves four districts - Croce, Fortezza, Pilarella, and Valle - racing across 4,000 meters of Mediterranean waters.
Regular ferry services connect Porto Santo Stefano to Giglio Island, with departures from Porto del Valle harbor throughout the year for tourists and residents.
The town divides into four distinct quarters, each maintaining individual coat of arms and competing annually in traditional maritime sporting events since 1937.
