Promontorio dell'Argentario

Argentario Promontory, in the province of Grosseto, extends into the waters of  yrrhenian Sea and Laguna di Orbetello and leads to Monte Argentario. As other similar examples, Argentario was originally an island that over the centuries has been linked to the mainland. In addition to Monte Argentario, the most important inhabited centers on the promontory are Porto Santo Stefano (northwestern) and Porto Ercole (south-east), of the earliest origins. The shape of the promontory recalls an irregular pentagon and is articulated in several coastal stretches, each of which has peculiar characteristics. The interior, completely hilly, includes the small flat area of Terrarossa and It is declared Regional Interest Site.
