Giglio, Mediterranean island in Tuscany, Italy
The granite mountainous landscape of Giglio rises to 405 meters above sea level, featuring three settlements: Giglio Porto, Giglio Castello, and Giglio Campese.
The island functioned as an Etruscan military stronghold before becoming a Roman base, with Julius Caesar mentioning its strategic position in the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The San Pietro Apostolo church in Giglio Castello contains an ivory crucifix attributed to the craftsmanship of Renaissance sculptor Giambologna.
Regular ferry services connect Porto Santo Stefano on mainland Tuscany to Giglio Porto, with multiple daily departures throughout the year.
A sixth-century BC Etruscan shipwreck discovered near the island contained copper ingots, lead materials, and numerous amphorae vessels.
