Review:
Cortona is one of the Val di Chiana’s primary cultural centers, a former Roman colonial city believed to have been linked to the Biblical story of Noah and incorporated into Italy in the mid-19th century.
The hilltop city showcases important cultural sites such as the Etruscan Academy Museum, which showcases notable artifacts from Etruscan, Egyptian, and Roman cultures. Other cultural destinations include the Diocesan Museum, which highlights religious panel pieces painted by Fra Angelico. A number of significant archaeological sites are also located throughout the city, along with historic sites such as the Piazza Garibaldi and a number of Etruscan chamber tombs.
