Discover the world-famous marble quarries of Carrara, a unique landscape where centuries of history, craftsmanship, and natural beauty come together. This immersive experience takes you into the heart of the Apuan Alps, home to the prized white marble used since Roman times and chosen by Michelangelo for his masterpieces.

During the journey, you’ll also enjoy a tasting of the renowned Lardo di Colonnata, a local delicacy deeply rooted in the area’s tradition.
The journey reaches its peak at the breathtaking “Marble Cathedral,” an immense underground quarry whose dramatic scale and atmosphere capture the true grandeur of this extraordinary environment.
The core experience in Carrara lasts approximately 2h30'.
