The Carrara quarries are located in the Apuan Alps and white marble, a material dear to Michelangelo and Canova, is extracted there.

The three marble basins of Colonnata, Fantiscritti and Torano have closed or open quarries and offer a fascinating journey to discover a material that has been appreciated since Roman times.

Visitors can book guided tours along the route of the former Marble Railway to discover the history, techniques and culture that permeate the world of marble.
