Forte dei Marmi, Seaside commune in Lucca Province, Italy
The northern Tuscan coastal town extends along the Ligurian Sea with wide sandy beaches and lines of luxury beach clubs.
The town's name originates from an 18th-century fortress constructed to protect marble shipments from the Apuan Alps to the sea.
The Wednesday market in Piazza Marconi displays high-end fashion items and attracts shoppers from across Europe throughout the year.
The population increases from 7,000 to approximately 21,000 during summer months when tourists arrive from Florence, Milan, Germany, and Russia.
The former defensive fortress now houses a museum dedicated to satirical art, reflecting the transformation of this marble trade port.
