Highlights of the Carrara Marmo Tour

Enter the Marble Cathedral

The highlight of the tour is the “Marble Cathedral,” an expansive underground quarry with a surreal, almost lunar-like landscape. Carved from over 24,000 cubic meters of Carrara marble, the sheer scale and beauty of this site are breathtaking. It has earned the name Cattedrale di Marmo for good reason, leaving visitors in awe.

Explore Ancient and Modern Techniques

Expert guides passionately explain both the ancient and modern methods used to extract marble. From Roman-era techniques to cutting-edge innovations, the tour provides insight into how Carrara marble has been a symbol of luxury for thousands of years.

The Art of Marble

Within the quarry, you’ll encounter the remarkable “Creation of Adam” mural by the renowned artist Ozmo. This mural, inspired by Michelangelo’s iconic Sistine Chapel work, creates a connection between the raw marble and the art it has inspired for centuries.

Essential Tips for Visitors

What to Bring

  • Comfortable shoes: Closed-toe footwear is recommended due to the uneven and sometimes muddy terrain inside the quarry.
  • Warm clothing: The temperature inside the quarry averages around 16°C, so a light jacket or sweater is advisable.
  • Cash: Some ticket booths may not accept cards, so carrying cash ensures a smoother visit.

What Not to Miss

  • Wine Tasting Experience: For an elevated experience, book a Ca’ Lunae wine tasting tour. After exploring the quarries, you can enjoy wine tasting at 1,000 meters altitude with panoramic views of the mountains and sea. Pair the wines with local delicacies like Lardo di Colonnata for a truly unique experience.
  • Handcrafted Marble Souvenirs: Be sure to check out locally made marble souvenirs, ranging from delicate jewelry to impressive sculptures. These items make great mementos of your visit.

Planning Your Visit

How to Get There

Carrara is located in the scenic northern part of Tuscany. To reach the Fantiscritti quarry:

  • By Tour Bus: If you prefer not to drive, the tour offers transportation via minivans departing from the Fantiscritti entrance.

Follow signs to Località Fantiscritti or Località Ravaccione, depending on your entry point. Checking road conditions and confirming your route via Google Maps will make your trip easier.

Opening Hours: Tours run daily from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM, except Mondays when the quarry is closed. Tours depart every hour, so arrive early to avoid delays.
