Orbetello, Coastal commune in Tuscany, Italy
Orbetello extends across a central lagoon, connected to the mainland by a road dam that divides the water into eastern and western sections.
The settlement began as an Etruscan center in the 4th century BC before Romans established control in 280 BC, constructing the colony of Cosa.
The Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, built upon an Etruscan-Roman temple and renovated in 1375, contains 15th-century frescoes within its walls.
The town includes seven distinct districts: Albinia, Ansedonia, Fonteblanda, Giannella, Quattro Strade, San Donato, and Talamone, each offering different services.
The Orbetello lagoon functions as an international WWF Reserve spanning 26.22 square kilometers, providing sanctuary for numerous bird species.
