The perimeter walls are still partially visible, especially in the southern section, where an arched gate surmounted by three rounded stones stands. At the highest point of the hill stands the imposing stone keep, which extends around a courtyard. Within the walls is the church of Santa Maria Assunta, dating back to the 13th century but completely renovated in the late 19th century. It has a distinctive urban layout, dominated by an imposing stone keep arranged around a courtyard accessed through two round-arched gates, defended by a large tower with a massive base.

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 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 urban layout of the settlement is therefore typical of mining villages, with the mine manager's villa in a dominant position, the workers' homes, the shop, the infirmary, the church, the school, and the cinema theater. Near the village, the visible remains of the structures used for mining activities are present, which retain considerable value from the perspective of industrial archaeology.

"completed in 1265 (eighth indiction), while the knight Ildibrandino da Pisa, after having held numerous offices, was Podestà of this territory." These are the words in Latin that can be read in the marble epigraph on the façade of the Fountain of Abundance. The building consists of three pointed arches preceding three basins, once containing water. The structure had two main functions: it was used as the town's main water supply and, on the upper floor (built in the 15th century), it was used as a warehouse for storing grain.
