As if suspended in time, the urban core, a handful of houses marked by narrow alleys, arches, churches, archaeological finds and small open spaces, is a paradise for those seeking a journey of tranquility and peace. The history that it carries behind it is full of important traces that can be discovered among the alleys simply by raising your eyes to capture aspects, details, images that evoke the past existence of the ancient inhabitants. Once we reach the center of the town we discover the Pieve di San Martino that protects the remains of the Blessed Giovanni and the unique loggia that accompanies us to one of the open doors in the walls, from which it is possible to see a breathtaking view. But the beauties of the village are not limited to palaces and monuments: like any ancient village worthy of the name, Batignano pampers its visitors with pleasant folklore and spirituality events that take place throughout the year. Visit it during the Christmas period to discover it embellished with small nativity scenes that adorn balconies, streets, squares and even niches in the walls: one of the most particular is usually set up inside the old oven of the village, in a small room with a beaten earth floor. Even just to savor these atmospheres, this little Maremma jewel is worth a visit.

The Cathedral of San Lorenzo, named after the patron saint of Grosseto, is the most important building in the city. As an inscription at the right end of the façade testifies, the cathedral was built starting from the end of the 13th century under the direction of Sozzo Rustichini, who also collaborated in the realization of the façade of the cathedral in Siena. The work, interrupted due to the war between Grosseto and Siena, was resumed around 1340. In the 16th century, a series of interventions were carried out under the Sienese architect Anton Maria Lari inside and on the façade, which was also significantly remodeled during the 19th century.

Built between the 13th and 14th centuries, Piazza Dante is the centre of Grosseto's old town. Also known as Piazza delle Catene (Square of the Chains), it often hosts concerts and cultural events. The square is home to the Cathedral of San Lorenzo. As an inscription on the façade attests, it was built at the end of the 13th century to plans by the Sienese architect Sozzo Rustichini. Inside you can admire the famous work of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary with Angels by Matteo di Giovanni (1470) and a wooden cross from the mid-15th century attributed to il Vecchietta. The square also features the 19th-century Palazzo Comunale (Town Hall), which houses the Town Council and the Municipal Administration, and the magnificent Palazzo Aldobrandeschi, also known as the Palazzo della Provincia (Provincial Palace). It was built in 1900 according to a design by the architect Lorenzo Porciatti in a neo-Gothic style inspired by the medieval architecture of Siena. In the middle of the square stands the Monumento a Canapone by Luigi Magi (1846): it depicts the Grand Duke Leopold II of Lorraine (smilingly called "Canapone" by the people of Grosseto) crushing the head of a snake, a symbol of the malaria that threatened the population of the Maremma region.

Porta Vecchia (translated: Old Gate) is the oldest city gate in the walls of Grosseto and is located at the southern corner of the fortifications. Together with the Cassero Senese, it is one of the two surviving architectural elements of the 14th-century city walls and survived the extensive reconstruction work carried out by the Medici in the late 16th century.

This gate dates from the 14th century and was part of the city wall. It was first called "Porta Cittadina" after a captain of the Lambertesco Cittadini people. When the Medici built the fortifications in the 16th century (1565-1593), the gate was retained, but was renamed "Porta Reale". In 1755 a second gate was built in the north of the city, the "Porta Nuova". Demilitarization work (1848 - 1850) took place on the defensive wall and in 1854 the medieval watchtower that towered over the gate was demolished. Parts of the demolished defensive walls became public gardens or paths.

A document from the Middle Ages shows that this gate already existed at that time. At that time it was called "Porta di San Michele". Named after a holy church nearby. In the 16th century it was demolished and a bulwark of Medici walls was built in its place. For two centuries there was only one gate, the "Porta Vecchia", and in 1755 there was a second one, "Porto Nuova". At the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century the population density was so high that a third one was necessary. In 1927 a new 3rd gate was decided. Due to various demands from architects and administrative responsibilities, the gate was ultimately not completed until 1933.
