The town of Montecatini nestles among the hills of the Cecina valley, a few miles from the city of Volterra. In ancient times it was known by the name of Monte Leone (Castrum Montis Leonis), and was in a constant tug-of-war between Pisa and Volterra, before finally falling under the dominion of Florence in 1472. The history of Montecatini is closely tied to the nearby copper mines of Camporciano, which were exploited from the time of the Etruscans right up the early twentieth century. In the 1800s, they were the largest copper mines in Europe. Walking through the streets of the historic centre, you cannot fail to notice the piazza that lies in the shadow of the castle and the bulky eleventh-century Belforti tower. The old copper mines are located around a kilometre from the town, and inside them you can see numerous tunnels an the famous Alfredo Shaft, and learn about all the stages in the ancient process of copper-working. A 20-minute drive takes you from Montecatini Val di Cecina to Volterra, the alabaster city.
