About Massa Marittima
Massa Marittima grew as a hill town in Tuscany that had been a center of silver and copper mining since Etruscan times. As a comune, it built its cathedral, the Duomo di San Cerbone, in the thirteenth century and issued one of Europe's earliest mining codes in the early fourteenth century. Its wealth and government rested on the metal mines.
