Gavorrano, like most Italian villages that were independent city-states, has changed hands a number of times since it was founded in the 11th century. However, the site has been inhabited in some form since the Etruscan era.

In the historic city center, the church of La Pieve di San Giuliano was first built in the 12th century, though it was reconstructed in the 17th century. The Oratory of Santissimo Sacramento was built in the 14th century, though it was first dedicated to Santi Cosma e Damiano, and then to the Nativita di Maria. For secular architecture, visit the Palazzo Comunale di Gavorrano and the Teatro delle Rocce.
