Baratti and Populonia Archeological Park The Etruscans of the Iron Age - The remains of an old Etruscan town are surrounded by a green cape on one side and by the bending bay on the other. We can find traces of the ancient splendour of this civilization (which developed exploiting the iron mines of the Isle of Elba) in the monumental Necropolis by the sea, with its ancient tombs built in the quarry that opens on to the woods.
Etruscan melting furnaces about 1,5 km far from the campsite, towards S. Vincenzo - Go past the"MADONNA DI FUCINAIA" and turn right, you will find the signpost , and just after a short path that leads to the closed fence of the furnaces. The guardian will let you in. Free admission
