Follonica, Coastal commune in Province of Grosseto, Italy

Located on the Gulf of Follonica in Tuscany, this town stands at 4 meters above sea level and extends along the Tyrrhenian Sea coastline.

The town originated in 1834 when Grand Duke Leopold II of Tuscany established housing for workers at a new ironworks facility near ancient Etruscan settlements.

The Museo delle Arti in Ghisa della Maremma preserves the industrial heritage through exhibitions of iron artifacts and regional metallurgical techniques.

The town connects to major Italian cities through the Via Aurelia highway and railway lines linking Rome, Grosseto, and Turin.

Between 2000 and 2007, the town received consecutive Bandiera Blu certifications recognizing the exceptional standards of its beaches and seawater quality.
