The Marciana Park House is located near the Pisan Fortress.
It covers an area of about 300 square meters and is divided into two main rooms dedicated to the terrestrial and marine environments of the National Park. At the entrance, at the information desk, informational brochures created by the Park Authority are available. Additionally, visitors can take advantage of the assistance of the staff for a more in-depth visit.
The first room, dedicated to the terrestrial environment, includes references to the genesis and geomorphological evolution of western Elba and Mount Capanne, with displays of representative minerals that visitors can touch, as well as references to local history and culture, such as agro-silvo-pastoral activities and the tools and artifacts of daily rural life.
To engage another sense, the sense of smell, in addition to sight, touch, and hearing, already stimulated during the visit, this area features scent diffusers with botanical essences significant to the territory.
Finally, an ecorama depicting a Mediterranean shrubland landscape illustrates the characteristic plants of the vegetation.
After the section dedicated to the western part of Elba, visitors move to the eastern part of the island, represented by images and photographs, with a final display of various types of sand (e.g., hematite) from these regions of the island.
After passing through an area with a waterfall, visitors enter the second room of the Park House, dedicated to the marine environment. Upon entering, there are two computers connected to the Park's website; on the walls, images illustrate both plant and animal endemic species.
On the opposite wall, an ecorama represents the flora and fauna of the sea and the sandy and rocky shores of the Tuscan Archipelago. There is a section dedicated to the rare Audouin's gull, adopted as the symbol of the Park, with information on the ecology of this endangered bird. Numerous images highlight the variety of animal and plant life in the Park, including a marine aquarium with Mediterranean species and a panel displaying images of cetaceans.
Finally, the projection room, where videos of the Park can be shown: the institutional video, the monk seal video, and the Audouin's gull video.
