Luni

Built around the remains of the Roman colony of Luna near the Magra River, Luni grew into a Ligurian municipality still defined by its ancient past. Founded in 177 BC, Luna became an important port for marble quarried in the nearby Apuan Alps; its harbour was later filled by sediment as the coastline changed. The archaeological area and museum preserve traces of the Roman street grid, forum and amphitheatre, recalling a town that once stood on the Tyrrhenian shore. Near the Tuscan border, Luni sits between the coast and the inland marble country. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Liguria.
