Suvereto (Tuscany)

Suvereto is a town in the Province of Livorno, in the Italian region Tuscany. It is located between the hills and the shining sea on the Etruscan Coast. Considered one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, Suvereto is immersed in the green Val di Cornia. The town is a treasure chest of wonders: its walls are home to characteristic medieval alleys, stone houses, historic palaces and evocative churches. All around are endless forests and chestnut, oak and, of course, cork trees, the latter being where the town gets its name from. Dominating this little gem from the hilltop above, outside the town walls, is the Rocca Aldobrandesca, reminding us of the historic medieval settlement. The defense walls enclose many beautiful buikdings, such as the Romanesque Church of San Giusto, and the Church of the Madonna di Sopra la Porta.
