Cava Museo

TIME : 2016/2/18 21:17:31

To learn how the Romans worked with marble, visit this surprisingly informative, open-air museum adjoining the souvenir shop across from the quarry entrance.

Don't miss the B&W shots of marble blocks being precariously slid down the lizza (mountain pathway) to the bottom of the mountain, where 18 pairs of oxen would pull the marble to Carrara port.
