VOLTERRA
Ideal Medieval City
Knights, old city districts, flags, crossbows, ancient traditions and flavors: the ideal city of the Middle Ages
A stone-made city founded over 3000 years ago. Volterra is one of the few cities in the world that allows you to open a door to the past and walk into history.
A city made of stone but full of beating hearts. The beating hearts of the contrade’s inhabitants, the centuries-old town districts. The Balitori’s coats of arms and delicate young ladies, precious as the sparkly gems set on their rich costumes.
Come with me inside Palazzo dei Priori.
