Great to see the mining of Carrarra marmer. The 'white gold'.
Advise go see the mountain from inside. Delved since 200 b.c. Some mountains have already disappeared ;-)

We were brought here by a local sculptor who was very knowledgeable about the whole process of turning stone into art. (Btw... don't think of driving here yourself unless you are fearless driver. It's not for the faint of heart.) The tour itself is amazing: driving into the heart of a mountain of marble, down a narrow black tunnel. Inside you have to wear a hard hat and a sweatshirt because it's COLD compared to the heat outside. You see men working to cut the marble. You wonder if the whole thing could cave in! The young woman who explained it all in perfect English was as witty as she was knowledgeable. It's an educational, fun experience.

Riding through the caves of Carrara was just like going into the Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland!!! Heading off into the dark... Fun and enjoyable for everybody. You can see workers and trucks at work cutting the famous Italian marble, and can also buy some marble souvenirs along the way. The shops sell marble, quartz and other rocks. We thought this was a great place to explore and had lots of fun. This place is easily accessed through the town of Carrara, although I would recommend going by car, as the tunnels are not accessible by foot and the signs are confusing to follow.

The location is not easy to reach but we were very pleased to finally arrive. The quarry is massive and despite being a quarry, it is a wonderful landscape. We took the tour inside the mine and it was very interesting. The kids being just 6 and 7 found the whole place amazing. The museum was also very interesting. Unfortunately, I cannot remember the name of the girl that gave us the tour but she was great with fantastic language skills (my husband English, and I am a native Spanish speaker) and she was fluent in both. A totally different place to visit while on holidays, but perfect if you look for some educational activity for the kids.

Impressive and unbelievable!!!!
It up in the mountains and access is easy via the city Carrara.
You choose if you want to visit a cave or just outside in the mountains by 4x4.
We decided on the cave whereby you are driven in a 4x4 through a 600m long tunnel(formerly a train tunnel). Once you are inside you are greeted by this mass beauty of Marble in Columns....
The visit takes upto an hour and the temperature inside the caves is 16C right thorough the year.
It is no wonder why price of Marble is astronomical!!!
