モンティエーリの洞窟・トップ7

考古学博物館は、マッサ・マリティマのドゥオーモ広場に面した（1225年築）かつてのポデスタ宮殿に収蔵されています。コレクションは、下部旧石器時代からエトルリア時代まで年代順に並べられたセクションに分かれています。先史時代のコレクションの主要な展示品は、マレンマ地域でこの種の唯一の遺物であるヴァド・アル・アランチョのエネオリト時代のステラ像です。エトルリア時代の遺物は主にアチェーザ湖畔の集落で行われた発掘調査から来ており、主に調理用食器、織機のおもり、漁具のおもり、レンガなどです。さらに、ネクロポリスで発見された埋葬品、特に食器（ファイアンス粘土とブッケロ）、青銅製の留め金、鉄製の花瓶立て、鉄製と青銅製の武器も展示されています。1階には、自然サイズの洞窟の再現を含む教育セクションがあります。旧石器時代のエネオリト時代の洞窟です。ガイド付きツアーや教育活動、文化イベントの企画、映像の上映サービスが利用可能です。

巨大な Torre del Candeliere（または時計塔）は高さ24メートルで、自由都市としてマッサ・マリッティマが独立を宣言した直後の1228年に、その権威を主張するために建てられました。この建物の特異な名前は、頂上に常に火を灯し続け、巨大なろうそくのように見せたという習慣に由来します。 1413年に初めて鐘が設置され、その後1760年に現在の鐘（重さ約140kg）に交換されました。最初の時計は1443年にファサードに設置されました。 Torre del Candeliereは、この町随一の展望スポットです。そのため見学可能で、そのSienese Archを通って、今日でも歩ける唯一の城壁であるFortezzaにアクセスできます。 ArchとFortezzaはTorreよりも後に建てられました。1335年にシエナによってマッサが征服された際、Torreは部分的に解体され、その後元の高さの約3分の1低く再建されました。

The Montemassi fortress was an imposing medieval fortification that overlooked the entire village from the top of the hill.

The castle is undoubtedly the most famous monument in the municipality of Roccastrada, if not in the entire Upper Maremma, due to its historical significance (it is depicted in the famous fresco "Guidoriccio da Fogliano at the Siege of Montemassi" in Siena's Palazzo Pubblico, attributed to Simone Martini) and for its outstanding example of Gothic architecture. The fortification, which crowns a 280-meter hill above the town, consists of the remains of two main buildings: to the north is the Palazzo/Mastio, with the base of the sloping wall featuring numerous large windows, indicating its residential and not strictly military function, and the remains of a polygonal tower. Inside the Palazzo

An ancient village once owned by the Aldobrandeschi family and then by Siena, it still bears the marks of the past rulers: the keep, the surrounding walls, and the evocative arched gateway are well preserved. The medieval features of the church of San Sebastiano, renovated in the 18th century, are still evident. Coming to today, I recommend a refreshing stop, perhaps for an aperitif, at Barrino di Tatti, just outside the medieval village. The food is excellent, while from the terrace and dining room, we gaze across the Maremma to the sea.

Massa Marittima is a fortified medieval village located on a hill, known for its beauty and wealth of artistic and architectural heritage. Key attractions include the magnificent Piazza Garibaldi, with the Cathedral of San Cerbone, the Palazzo del Podestà, and the Palazzo Comunale. Other points of interest include the Fonti dell'Abbondanza with its famous fresco of the Tree of Fertility and, in the upper town, the Torre del Candeliere and the Cassero Senese within the medieval walls.

The Torre del Candeliere is a museum monument that is an integral part of the Massa Marittima Museum System. The tower was erected in 1228 to both monitor the area (as a watchtower) and assert the authority of the Municipality of Massa Marittima, which had recently freed itself from the rule of the Prince-Bishop. The tower was originally a third taller than its current counterpart, the result of Siena's reconstruction following the war that brought it victory over Massa. Another Sienese initiative was the construction of the majestic arch connecting it to the Cassero, built in the center of the city to monitor the still-rebellious Massa Marittima residents, ready to rise up.
