Massa Alta is located in “Cittanuova”, the upper side of Massa Marittima, the medieval gem of Tuscany, renown for Piazza Garibaldi, considered one of the most beautiful central piazza of Italy.
Just a few feet from Massa Alta there are some extraordinary buildings showing the amazing medieval heritage of this town: the anciente complex of San Pietro all’Orto with its cloister “Chiostro di Sant’Agostino“, the beautiful tower Torre del Candeliere e the fortress Fortezza Senese.
Climbing down the steep steps of the picturesque via Moncini, you will reach Piazza Garibaldi, the main square of Massa Marittima
Piazza Garibaldi is the most refined example of medieval urban development, represents the heart of the Town and is considered one of the most beautiful squares of Italy.
This magical place will take your breath away: the stunning Cathedral of San Cerbone (called Duomo) faces the unique public space at a diagonal and is surrounded by other beautiful buildings such as the Palace of Podestà, the Town Hall, the Market Place (the Loggia).
Another main attraction of Massa Marittima is the public fountain the “Abundance Fountain“. In 1999, during a restoration, a fresco depicting the Tree of Abundance was found hidden beneath a layer of plaster: a large tree with twenty-five penises hanging from its branches and two women scuffling over collecting them. The scene of this fresco, dated between 1265 and 1335, was interpreted as a good omen: in fact, the male sexual organ is associated with water and life, therefore “abundance”.
