Overview
Orange Flag of the Italian Touring Club
The town is divided into two parts: the first is the Old Town, Romanesque, the hub of municipal life, with the streets leading to the monumental Piazza Garibaldi overlooked by the Cathedral, Romanesque Gothic, oblique on a stepped podium with a unique perspective and rich in fine works of art and the Praetorian Palace or the Podestà, now a museum. The second part is the New Part, above, which is reached by climbing via Moncini, an orthogonal grid expansion dating back to 1228. Between the two parts stands the fortress, commissioned by the Sienese in 1335 and in front of the gate to the Silicas, through which you must pass, a bridge that ascends to the panoramic Candlestick tower. Also worth a visit are the Town Hall, the Palace and the Fountain of Plenty and the Mine Museum that recalls the origins of Massa's fortunes.
At the table, the typical dishes are accompanied with theMonteregio DOC wine.
