What you can expect

  • Begin your journey at the scenic Piazza Garibaldi, one of Tuscany's most captivating viewpoints. Take in the breathtaking views of the Valdichiana and Lake Trasimeno, setting the stage for a harmonious dialogue between the Tuscan landscape and the historic city.

    Stroll along ancient cobblestone streets and encounter the imposing Etruscan Walls, among the best-preserved in Tuscany. Built with large stone blocks in pre-Roman times, these millennia-old defensive structures tell the story of Cortona's origins and its strategic importance in the Etruscan world.

    Continue along Via Nazionale, an elegant artery of the historic center, lined with noble palaces, artisan shops, and historic cafes. Here, city life intertwines with Renaissance and medieval architectural heritage.

    Discover the civic heart of Cortona in Piazza della Repubblica, dominated by the austere Town Hall, with its medieval stone facade, wide external staircase, and clock tower overlooking the square. Nearby, the Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo stands out with its historic facade adorned with coats of arms, plaques, and civic decorations, narrating the city's administrative past.

    A few steps lead to Piazza Signorelli, an elegant urban space facing the Teatro Signorelli, characterized externally by its sober 19th-century facade and harmonious integration with the surrounding historic buildings. Next to it, the monumental seat of the Museum of the Etruscan Academy is recognizable for its imposing architecture and its central role in the historical fabric of the square.

    Continue to the Cathedral of Saint Maria Assunta, a Renaissance masterpiece of Cortona. The exterior facade stands out for its elegant sobriety, punctuated by stone portals and large arched windows, while inside, a bright central nave is enriched with wooden altars, Tuscan school frescoes, and precious sacred art. Among its wonders are the altarpiece and finely decorated side chapels, telling the religious and artistic history of the city, offering an experience that combines spirituality, art, and architecture in full Tuscan style.

    Through picturesque alleys and panoramic views of the Tuscan hills, finally reach the Church of Saint Margherita, characterized externally by the simple stone facade with a Gothic portal and a bell tower that stands out over the village. Inside, the church houses the crypt of the saint and numerous decorated altars, frescoes, and relics, offering a glimpse of local devotion and the spiritual history of Cortona, making the visit a moment of intense emotion and contemplation.
