Fonderie Ilva di Follonica, Former industrial complex and urban park in Follonica, Italy.

The Fonderie Ilva complex spans multiple buildings, including historical furnaces, workshops, and modern cultural facilities integrated within green spaces.

Established in 1546 by the Appiani family, the foundry processed iron from Rio nell'Elba mines until its industrial operations ceased in 1960.

The site houses the Museum of Cast Iron Arts in Maremma, Teatro Fonderia Leopolda, and the Municipal Iron Library, preserving industrial heritage.

Visitors can access the park daily to explore the converted industrial buildings, attend cultural events, or enjoy recreational activities in the open spaces.

The complex features paired furnaces named San Leopoldo and Maria Antonia, constructed between 1834 and 1841 during the site's industrial peak.
