Marciana

Among the towns of Tuscany, Marciana stands out for its setting on the wooded slopes of Monte Capanne, the highest peak on Elba. Its historic centre rises above the Tyrrhenian Sea on the island’s western side, with narrow lanes and granite-built houses following the hillside. The Fortezza Pisana, a medieval defensive structure above the settlement, recalls the era when Elba’s coastal communities needed protection from raids arriving by sea. Marciana is also close to paths through Monte Capanne’s chestnut woods and higher terrain. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Elba and Tuscany.
