Dating back to the I century BC, the Roman villa of the Grottos is the only one of the three pleasure villas discovered on the Island of Elba not to have undergone building work "on top of it" over the centuries.
Left forgotten at the end of the I century AD, while the extension work on the Linguella Roman villa was being carried out, between 1799 and 1801 it was made a strategic place for keeping the artillery battery during the war between France and the Reign of Naples. www.infoelba.com/
