Marble Caves of Carrara diferents caves located in this well-known city, not so far from Pisa, in Italy. We came here to visit any of the caves and we could enter in two of them: Cantera di Colonata, a real cave at free-air, where you can see, where the marble stones are extracted since Roman Period. Very interesting place for history-lovers and scientist-lovers.

On the way, stop in the town of Pietrasanta which is an artist workshop area and a lovely town.…
