Discover Volterra: Ancient Ruins & Medieval Landmarks
Discover the enchanting Old Town of the walled city of Volterra high up in the mountains of Tuscany, which is steeped in the long and eventful history dating from before the Roman times, and its numerous landmarks of historical and archaeological significance, such as the mysterious Etruscan Acropolis and Etruscan Gate dating to as early as the 8th century BC, the rich heritage of Roman civilization including Roman Cistern, Roman Theatre, and Roman Bath, the 14th-century Medici Fortress now serving as a prison, as well as the Palace of the Priors and the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta next to it, the respective representatives of the heated conflict between the Florentine government and the bishop during medieval times.

Where this sits in Florence
Florence is about 8 min by road from Florence Peretola Airport. Compact enough to cross on foot in half an hour, and holding more Renaissance art than most countries. Busy in the middle and calm five minutes out; the Oltrarno side of the river is where people actually live and eat.
