Along the Pisan coast, halfway between Tirrenia and Livorno, lies Calambrone. During the era of the Maritime republics, it was, for all intents and purposes, the Pisan Port, the major seaport of the powerful city.
After centuries of relative abandon, Calambrone developed a proper urban centre in the 1930s. Numerous summer recreation centers in the Liberty and Modernist styles date from that same era. Even today, these buildings characterise the town’s urban and architectural structure. The landscape along this stretch of coast is also distinctive, noted for its sandy dunes.
Thanks to the coast’s redevelopment, the small town has become the perfect destination for a family holiday.
