That of Talamone is a strategic position, certainly not chosen by chance by those who first settled on the promontory: the Etruscans. From the village you can enjoy a splendid view of Monte Argentario, the Orbetello Lagoon and a wide stretch of sea.

La Rocca dominates the fishermen’s houses and the small harbor from above. Reaching it on foot is an easy and original hike that develops along steep streets.<\/p>\n

History of Talamone<\/h3>\n

Legend has it that under the Rocca, in the heart of the village, Telamone<\/strong>, uncle of the brave Achilles, is buried. The village would therefore have been named after this famous character.<\/p>\n

The small local port has always been fundamental to Talamone’s economy since the dawn of the country, in the Etruscan period. In fact, before becoming a popular tourist destination, the village was a strategic docking point for Roman ships<\/strong> in the heart of the Mediterranean. Instead, at the fall of the Roman Empire it was transformed into a simple fishing village. The typical atmosphere of the medieval village dedicated to fishing and agriculture can still be felt perfectly along the streets and in the shops of the historic center.<\/p>\n

The bay of Talamone was also a protagonist during the Risorgimento: here that in 1860 Garibaldi<\/strong> landed to recover the necessary weapons for his Expedition of the Thousand. The character is remembered with a beautiful monument in the main square.<\/p>\n
