Tips from locals

Marzio
November 4, 2016
In 1788 was built a fort, the Forte Lorense, to defend the marble shipments. It was an important defense point against pirate raids and it was also used as a deposit for the marble that came from the Apuane mountains and was destined to be shipped out to sea. Thus, the area began to be known as Forte dei Marmi (The Fortress of Marbles).
