(Subject to Option Inclusions)Itinerary
Porta San Giovanni
Make your first stop in San Gimignano, a hilltop town with winding streets and historic buildings. Check out the city's impressive towers, which give way to postcard-perfect views of the surrounding countryside.
Piazza dei Priori
Explore the city "of wind and rock", as the poet Gabriele D'Annunzio described it. Volterra, nestled on the hill overlooking the Val di Cecina, can boast a perfectly preserved medieval historic centre. Its origins date back to the Etruscans, who made Velathri a center of primary importance in the production of alabaster. The Romans renamed it Volaterrae and enriched the city with theaters and spas. During the Middle Ages the city experienced a new phase of splendor, expressed by the construction of the Palazzo dei Priori, the first ever in Tuscany, the Cathedral and the Baptistery. Masterpieces by artists such as Pomarancio, Rosso Fiorentino and Benozzo Gozzoli are exhibited in these buildings and in the Art Gallery.
