Follonica

Among Tuscany’s coastal towns, Follonica stands out for the former Grand Ducal ironworks that shaped its identity beside the Gulf of Follonica. The town faces the Tyrrhenian Sea, with the island of Elba visible across the water on clear days, while the wooded hills of the Maremma rise inland. Iron production expanded here in the 19th century, and the restored industrial complex now houses the MAGMA Museum, dedicated to Maremma’s cast-iron arts. Cast iron also distinguishes the Church of San Leopoldo, whose façade and portico reflect the town’s manufacturing past.
