Camaiore, Medieval town in Province of Lucca, Italy
Camaiore extends from the Apuan Alps to the Versilia coast, encompassing diverse landscapes including mountains, valleys, and the beach resort of Lido di Camaiore.
The Romans established Camaiore as Campo Maggiore, constructing it as a strategic outpost near Lucca along the Via Cassia during their expansion through central Italy.
During the Corpus Domini celebration, residents create intricate sawdust carpets throughout the streets and participate in traditional religious processions through the town.
The town maintains excellent transport connections to Pisa and Florence airports, while offering varied accommodations from renovated farmhouses to contemporary beachfront hotels.
The Torre Civica, built in 1350, stands next to the Church of Santa Maria Assunta as the last remaining structure of four medieval gates that protected the town.
