Diaccia Botrona Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Diaccia Botrona Nature Reserve, spread over 1,273 hectares between Castiglione della Pescaia and Grosseto, represents the last vestige of the Castiglione Marshes, subjected to reclamation works by the Lorraine family in the eighteenth century. Classified as a "wetland of international importance" according to the Ramsar Convention, it is a key area for Tuscan birdlife.

View of the Diaccia Botrona Nature Reserve

Highlight • Viewpoint

Visit this magical place at first light in the morning or at sunset and bring a spotting scope or binoculars with you: this is paradise for birdwatchers!

The vegetation in the Reserve, influenced by natural factors and human interventions, presents a rich variety. From marsh reed to elms, willows, tamarisks and white poplars, each species contributes to creating a unique environment. The pine forest, on the sandy tombolo, is characterized by imposing stone pine plants and an undergrowth rich in rockroses and rosemary.

Diaccia Botrona

Highlight • Lake

The area currently known as the Diaccia Botrona Nature Reserve once contained a saltwater basin connected to the sea, which for centuries provided a significant economic source, ensuring the livelihood of the surrounding areas thanks to fishing, the fish trade, and the supply of salt. This enormous "piscaria" or fishpond, on which the castle stood, later became the toponym of the town, called Castiglione della Pescaia. Over the centuries, the Prile initially lost its salinity (the lake was declared a freshwater pond in 1386) and then gradually dried up, forming the marshy basins that characterize the wetland.
