Guided Tour of Volterra

Volterra is located in the middle of the Tuscan countryside on top of a hill; solitarily and mysteriously it dominates the surrounding territory designed by clayey and sandy hills, and by extensive fields used for pastoralism. The magnificent landscape alone would justify a trip … but the city also has a fascinating history having been one of the 12 most important Etruscan city-states of Tuscany. Even today, part of the Etruscan walls, the famous Porta all’Arco and the extraordinary Guarnacci Etruscan Museum with its rich collection bear witness. Come and discover the charm of Volterra, where past and present coexist and intertwine harmoniously: archaeological remains from the Roman era – the theater, the thermal baths and the recently discovered amphitheater; medieval buildings such as the City Hall in Piazza dei Priori, the Cathedral and the adjacent baptistery, towers and tower-houses, streets and alleys; Renaissance palaces built by rich alabaster traders, the most precious stone in the city; and beyond that, you can find restaurants, ancient alabaster shops, small family-run shops, …

It is no coincidence that Volterra has been a candidate for the Italian Capital of Culture!
