Follonica is one of the most famous summer destinations in the Grosseto Maremma and in general the Tuscany.
Founded in the 16th century it was an important steel hub; later its progressive growth towards the sea transformed it into a tourist city.
Its historic center corresponds to the Magonale enclosure that enclosed all the ferrerie: today we can admire its neoclassical gate, an artistic portal that allows entry to the & amp; #39; now disused foundries area.

The coast of Follonica is particularly appreciated for the sandy seabed that slows down softly out, making it suitable for children and anyone who wants to dive into the water without risk.
The coast is full of equipped bathing establishments that allow you to spend pleasant days on the beach with all the modern comforts.
Obviously there are also large stretches of free beach and also some dog beaches, designed for those who choose Follonica and Maremma to spend their holiday with their dog.
