It's amazing to be near (and inside) real, working marble quarries, some of best in the world. You can see huge blocks being loaded, cut. You can see huge excavators, trucks, enormous white marble walls, mysterious tunnels.

There are many vantage points accessible for free so you can see actual marble mining works.

Great views. You will get impressed when you see the huge trucks getting their way up or doen the hill in a very stretch road. Only one of this hige trucks can transit in the dirt road a time. There are a some stores to bring home a pice of Italy. A lot of marble pieces at an affordable prices. Also a couple of trattorias in the area. Lardo sandwiches can be delicious but very heavy since lardo is only cured Pork fat try them but not get hooked up or you will feel the consequences. Is a must do visit dont miss this amazing place. Awsome views for perfect pictures.

I thought I had seen it all but this is something else
This is the quarry where Michelangelo chose his marble.
It is the major marble supplier in the world.
No wonder it is called white gold. The views are spectacular and it is not for the fair of heart as you will travel up to 45 degree steep angle roads to get there. You must do a tour. ( I suggest the 4x4) cavedimarmortours. The tunnels ( old railroad tunnel ) and the caves are something else ! I didn't think I would enjoy it the way I did but it was absolutely spectacular. If you are anywhere near by in Florence Pisa or cinque terre make the trip it is worth it

If you are near of Carrara you have to make a trip to this facilities - almost everybody over there offers a guided trip to the underground stone quarry or stone quarry in the mountains. We have decided to make a trip into the hills as they offer a spectaculous view over the whole area.
It takes about 1 hour for the trip - take good walking shoes with you, which can get dirty.
