The town shows historical records tracking back to all the different historical eras since pre-history: the Etruscan civilization, the Roman civilization, the Aldobrandeschi period (Aldobrandeschi family reigned over Maremma for nearly five centuries), the magnificent Renaissance period ruled by the Orsini family and the final Medici and Lorena dominations. One the principal monuments in Grosseto is the Orsini palace, which hosts an Etruscan Museum with interesting findings from the archeological site of Statonia.

Other main towns along the coast are Porto Santo Stefano and Porto Ercole.

The most characteristic monument in Grosseto is the main cathedral, the "Duomo", a rare example of a rose-and-white-striped facade. Grosseto cathedral hosts interesting works by Tuscan painters and sculptors such as Andrea della Robbia and Matteo di Giovanni.
