Discover Carrara, the City of marble
Carrara, the City of marble and UNESCO Creative City. Many first-time visitors assume the white mountain peaks forming Carrara’s backdrop are capped with snow. In fact, the view provides a breathtaking illusion – the lunar white is 2000 hectares of marble gouged out of the foothills of the Apuane Alps in vast quarries, 5km out of town, that have been worked since Roman times.
