Marciana Marina sits on the Tyrrhenian Sea along Elba’s northern coast in Tuscany, where the slopes of Monte Capanne descend towards a sheltered harbour. This compact seaside town developed around maritime trade and fishing, with its waterfront still forming the centre of local life. Torre degli Appiani, a 16th-century coastal defence tower, stands beside the harbour as a reminder of the island’s need to guard against raids from the sea. Narrow lanes behind the promenade lead into an old settlement of houses, cafés and small shops. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Elba and Tuscany.
