Exploring the Majestic Carrara Marble Quarries

A visit to the marble quarries of Carrara is perhaps like none other in Italy. We were invited on a private tour to check out the zone as part of a day which also included a couple of hours on a fishing boat with lunch from the port of Massa. Unfortunately, due to rough weather, the boat trip was cancelled giving us the opportunity of experiencing the whole territory from the narrow road leaving the town of Carrara all the way to a cloud level view of the whole zone towards Massa.

“The huge marble quarries of Carrara, Italy were first opened by the Romans in the 2nd century BC, their highly prized stone used to create many of Rome's grandest monuments. They have since produced more marble than any other site on earth. Spot the diggers to see the epic scale!”
