Bibbona is a great base for exploring the Tuscan cities of art and the islands.
Just 50 minutes by car is the beautiful Volterra, here the story of several centuries has merged with the city and the surrounding nature.
It was one of the main cities of ancient Tuscany, the historic center, in fact, is of Etruscan origin, with the door of the Arch and the door Diana, most of the city walls and the Acropolis, where even today you can see the foundations of two temples and various buildings.
Then there are Roman ruins and medieval buildings such as the Palazzo dei Priori, the Medici Fortress and the Cathedral. The latter was built between the twelfth and thirteenth centuries; the interior was restored in the nineteenth century while the bell tower dates back to 1400. The baptistery, in front of the Duomo was built in the mid-1200s.

One of the most famous is certainly the Piazza dei Miracoli, where, in a huge green lawn, surrounded by walls, there are the Cathedral, the Baptistery, the monumental Cemetery and the famous Tower of Pisa.
