Parco interprovinciale di Montioni

The park spans 7000 hectares across Valle del Cornia and Pecora, featuring dense holm oak forests and Mediterranean vegetation at 300 meters above sea level.

The territory contains archaeological evidence from multiple periods, including Etruscan settlements, Roman structures, and medieval buildings like the Old Montioni Castle ruins.

The area preserves extensive alum quarries that document traditional mining practices, alongside remnants of coal production sites that shaped local industrial development.

Two state reserves, Marsiliana covering 440 hectares and Poggio Tre Cancelli spanning 100 hectares, offer marked trails for nature exploration.

The park houses a village commissioned by Napoleon Bonaparte's sister, Elisa Bonaparte Baciocchi, representing a rare example of French imperial architecture in Tuscany.
