• Marble Caves of Carrara - Embark on a luxurious journey in a Mercedes minivan to the Carrara Quarries. As you travel along the winding road that snakes up the mountain, you will cross the renowned Bridges of Vara, alongside the impressive tunnels carved into the rock, which were once part of the “former Marble Railway.” The tour will take you deep into the heart of the marble basins to explore a closed quarry. This shared guided tour, lasting just under an hour, is known as the “Cathedral of Marble,” where the extraction techniques, machinery, and history of this valuable material will be unveiled. You will marvel at a reproduction of Michelangelo’s “CREATION OF ADAM” by the international artist Ozmo, which stands grandly with its 160 SQM in the center of our gallery. This enchanting place is where Michelangelo discovered the block that became the world-renowned “Pieta.”
