Cecina’s origins go back to antiquity – recent studies and finds place it in the Neolithic period.
It was certainly an important settlement for Etruscans and Romans.
Fascinating ancient and Etruscan/Roman artefacts are housed in the Civic Archaeological Museum in
the Villa La Cinquantina, where exhibitions are often held. Jewellery, objects in bronze, pottery
and furnishings are on display.
Foundations, mosaics, floors and an intact underground cistern can be seen at the Roman villa in
San Vicenzino – a residential complex dating back to the period between I B.C. and V A.D.
