Review:

Volterra is a walled town near Florence that was expanded into its current form around the year 1000 and has remained largely unchanged since the Medieval era, showcasing its rich artistic and cultural heritage throughout its historic city center at sites such as the Guarnacci Etrurian Museum and the Museum of Sacred Art.

Significant Medieval frescoes and bell towers are preserved within the Palazzo dei Priori city center, along with structures such as the splendid Volterra Cathedral. Outside the city center, a number of important archaeological ruins are preserved, including the 3rd-century bathhouses of the Roman Theatre complex and the remains of the Etruscan Acropolis.
