The island of Montecristo is part of the Tuscan Archipelago, situated in the Tyrrhenian Sea off the coast of Tuscany.
Administered by the Province of Livorno, Montecristo is uninhabited, with no permanent population. It is renowned for its pristine natural beauty, rugged terrain, and diverse wildlife, including rare bird species and marine life. Montecristo is most famous for being the setting of Alexandre Dumas' novel "The Count of Monte Cristo,". However, access to the island is strictly restricted in order to preserve its natural environment. |
