Vada, located on the old Via Aurelia between Rosignano Solvay and Cecina, is today a small town, but in the past it was the port of the Etruscan Volterra (whose Etruscan name was Velathri, Volaterrae the Roman one): the ancient name of Vada was in fact Vada Volaterrana, that is to say the landing place/port of Volterra, located near the start of the current Solvay wharf. The excavations conducted by the University of Pisa in the San Gaetano area (northern suburb of Vada) have brought to light a large Roman quarter adjacent to the port (more than a real port, it was a series of landing places spread over a large area between the Fine and Cecina rivers) to which a new housing "district" was then added in 2021) . Two thermal complexes have been identified, a horreum (warehouse), a probable macellum (retail market), a monumental fountain, a schola (seat of a guild of port workers) and a temple, perhaps destined for the cult of Cybele and Attis, oriental deities particularly venerated in ports frequented by eastern merchants. Numerous amphorae for oil, wine, sauces have also been found, as well containers for fruit, various pottery and various significant finds. In fact, in Vada an intense trade by sea led to the exchange of local products with goods from the entire Mediterranean basin. In the Middle Ages the area was gradually abandoned and occupied by a necropolis. Today, many of the finds are kept in the Archaeological Museum of Rosignano Marittimo, in a special area.

The famous tree-lined road immortalized in the verses of the poet Giosuè Carducci The suggestive Viale dei Cipressi is located in the municipality of Castagneto Carducci, and is a five-kilometer-long tree-lined road that connects the Oratory of San Guido to the historic center of the village of Bolgheri. A very long straight road, flanked by two rows of very thick centuries-old cypress trees, 2540 in total, which was created in the 19th century when, by rebuilding the Via Regia, perpendicular roads were created to connect it with the inland towns and villages: one of these was precisely the Stradone di San Guido.

Built in the 12th century, the Church of San Giovanni Battista is a perfect example of Tuscan Romanesque architecture. Located in the heart of the medieval village, it offers a panoramic view of the coast and the surrounding hills. An excellent stop for those seeking historical and natural beauty.

A beautiful view that includes nature, cities and the Rosignano Solvay factory
