Orbetello

Orbetello occupies a narrow sandbar dividing the Orbetello Lagoon in Tuscany’s Maremma. The town is joined to Monte Argentario by a causeway, while the lagoon’s shallow waters and reed beds form an important wetland for migratory birds, including flamingos in season. Its compact historic centre preserves the imprint of the Spanish State of the Presidi, which governed Orbetello from the 16th to the early 19th century; defensive walls and gateways still mark that chapter. Along the water stands the Mulino Spagnolo, a lagoon windmill and one of the town’s familiar symbols. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Orbetello and the Maremma.
