The Carrara Marble Quarries are located in the Apuan Alps of northern Italy. Renowned for their high-quality white marble, these quarries have been in operation since Roman times. The marble extracted here is famous for its purity and fine grain, making it a preferred choice for sculptures and architectural projects. The quarries are characterized by steep cliffs and a network of tunnels and roads used for extraction. Many famous artists, including Michelangelo, sourced their marble from Carrara, contributing to its historical significance. Today, the quarries continue to be an important site for both industry and tourism.
