Monte Argentario was probably an island in origin, that was connected afterward to the Tyrrenian coast by the thin Feniglia and Giannella's tombolos (two narrow strips of sand formed by debris from the sea, accumulated by the currents). The promontory was first inhabited in pre-historical ages, as you can see from the archeological remains found in the Grotta degli Stretti and in Grotta di Cala dei Santi. At least 10 caves were inhabited; the largest was 10 kilometres in length, with a little lake 50 metres from the entrance, called Grotta del Granduca in honour of Leopoldo di Lorena, who promoted the excavations. The promontory, completely mountainous (635 metres high), is characterised by high and rocky coastlines, where you can admire the famous dwarf palm which grows spontaneously, and is also covered in Mediterranean woods, olives trees, vineyards, and orchards.
