Overview

One of the Etruscan cities par excellence. It still preserves many vestiges of this period as well as the Roman and medieval ones: Porta all'Arco and its cyclopean walls, the Roman theater, the Piazza dei Priori, the cathedral with the baptistery, and tower-houses. Volterra holds an immense treasure trove of art, archaeology, and craftsmanship; in fact, it is famous for alabaster work, a knowledge that has been passed down for generations. Some of these treasures are preserved in Volterra's churches and many museums: from the Etruscan Museum with its vast collection and the Pinacoteca with works by Ghirlandaio, Signorelli and Rosso Fiorentino and much more! Volterra was built on high ground which, if it once provided security, today allows you to enjoy a vast and impressive panorama.
For craft lovers, we can arrange a visit to an alabaster workshop.

What To Expect

Piazza dei Priori

It is the heart of the city. This square is overlooked by the most important buildings of the Communal Age such as Palazzo dei Priori, Palazzo Pretorio. Many traces are still visible that tell of this era.

Porta all'Arco

Volterra is a perennial archaeological site. It was a rich and powerful Etruscan city and fortunately still preserves some traces of this era such as Porta all'Arco, a rare example of an Etruscan city gate.

Cathedral of Volterra

This square is overlooked by the city's most important religious buildings such as the Cathedral, the Baptistery and the former Hospital. Volterra boasts the birth of the second pope after St. Peter, St. Linus. Not surprisingly, his evangelization was so early that he founded an equally early diocese that would become influential and rich throughout the Middle Ages and beyond.
Our walk includes only a visit to the square and does not include a tour inside the buildings.

Teatro Romano

Volterra remained an important city even after its conquest by the Romans. Many finds testify to this, especially the presence of buildings such as the baths and the Roman theater.
We will talk about the theater from a vantage point that allows its explanation without going inside.
