Volterra: Private walking tour

Meeting point: Priori Square 20, in front of the tourist office, Volterra

Description

Volterra, of Etruscan origin, has its roots in a very distant past, as the monuments perched on the hill attest. The urban tissue, in fact, shows several archaeological stratifications, allowing you to retrace the history of the city from its foundation to the present day.

Moving towards the centre, on the other hand, you will admire the imposing and sober elegance of Piazza dei Priori, overlooked by the homonymous Palazzo. The city is also rich in religious buildings from the most varied historical periods, each with its own history, each with priceless artistic treasures, such as the Duomo, which is one of the most majestic examples of artistic and stylistic stratification and a unique model of all-Italian sobriety and elegance. Once inside the Duomo, you can't help but be dazzled by its unique decorations, finding yourself with your nose in the air to admire the wonderful golden ceiling of the nave.

The tour continues through Volterra's cobbled streets, which hold secrets, anecdotes and compelling stories.
