Where to stay in Porta Vecchia
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Rooms are booked in Grosseto itself, but the reason to walk into Porta Vecchia is a short list of fixed points: Grosseto Cathedral, Canapone and the monastero della Santissima Annunziata. The three stand close together. A stay chosen for the cathedral leaves the monumento a Giuseppe Mazzini, the Cippo idraulico di via Ximenes and the Massimo Falsetti Cricket Field inside the same walk.

About Porta Vecchia
What are the main landmarks in Porta Vecchia?
Sacred names dominate. Grosseto Cathedral heads the list, and the monastero della Santissima Annunziata, Maria Santissima Addolorata and Santissimo Crocifisso follow it, all four recorded inside Porta Vecchia. Secular entries run from Canapone and the monumento ad Alessandro Manetti to Famiglia a cavallo, the Cippo idraulico di via Ximenes and the Massimo Falsetti Cricket Field.
Two memorials commemorate the dead: the monument to the aviators of Maremma and the Monument to the victims of the Grosseto bombings.
What is the history of Porta Vecchia?
Dedications carry the older end of Porta Vecchia's record: Grosseto Cathedral, the monastero della Santissima Annunziata, Maria Santissima Addolorata and Santissimo Crocifisso, none of them given a founding year here. Loss is marked too. The Monument to the victims of the Grosseto bombings and the monument to the aviators of Maremma name what the city lost, while the monumento a Giuseppe Mazzini and the monumento ad Alessandro Manetti keep two names in public view.
