Massa Marittima — Cattedrale e Torre del Candeliere
Tuscany
Massa Marittima grew wealthy on medieval silver and copper mining, funding a cathedral disproportionately grand for a town this size, alongside the slender Torre del Candeliere, connected to the old fortress by an aerial walkway. The piazza and surrounding lanes are flat and easy, backed by the wooded Colline Metallifere.
