    These fascinating quarries are where Michelangelo used to source his marble for his masterpieces in Florence and Rome. The caves offer two types of tours up and down the quarries in 4WD cars. Our tour (the longer one) takes you into the mountain to visit an underground mine. The roads getting up there for almost as good as the quarries themselves and the views were just stupendous.

    It was à fascinating experience, and the guide was both friendly and informative.

    Fantastic experience to taste directly on site, in the very location where the world renown Lardo is produced.
    We had a selection of “affettati”
    amongst which a superb lardo literally melting on warm Sgabei (the Tuscan panzerotti as they are called there).
    Coppa, guanciale, prosciutto.
    Picturesque terrace overlooking the caves/mountains of the quarries.
    Were lucky to find a close by parking spot and enjoyed our break after the tour of the Cave di Marmo.
    Great stuff. We bought lots of lardo for us and for gifts

    I was struck by the simplicity of the cathedral’s interior which provides space for worship and a small number of high-quality art treasures.

    A nice setting in an ancient city. A piazza in white marble with views of the white marble quarries just above.

    The Church of the Suffrage of Carrara dates back to the end of the 17th century and was remodeled in the 19th century in the current Baroque style.
    The façade is simple but enriched with a large marble portal.
    The church has a Latin cross and is surmounted by a dome covered with slate scales.
    The interior is in Baroque style and full of marbles of various colors that create a dramatic effect.
    The high altar is in polychrome marble and is located between two winged skulls. The altarpiece painted in oil.
    The chruch was restored the late nineties of the 20th century.
    Admission is free.

    A nice example of colonial Art during the Fascism era.
    in Bardiglio a peculiar gray-blue marble used very rarely for sculpture.
    Also, the fountain water is fresh and clean.
