Suspended in time, its Cathedral keeps jealously the precious Saint James’ Treasure: the Apostle’s relic and the famous Silver Altar.

A town with centuries-old traditions always remained the same, full of every-year-renewed emotions. Like the excitement felt for the Giostra dell’Orso, the horse tournament that is held every 25th July among the four city wards called Rioni or the spectacularity of the Festival dei Luoghi Medievali, the annual review of the most important Italian medieval destinations that takes place every September in Piazza del Duomo.
Middle Ages, yes, but also a lot of green: nature and historical heritage find in Pistoia a perfect balance for a curious and silent tourism.
