Volterra is close to both Siena and Florence in the province of Pisa. The origins of the town go back to Etruscan times and was one of the main towns of the Etruscan confederation during the end of the fourth century. Volterra is best known for its urban layout and the preserved 4th-century gates that lead into the city. Visitors can still walk parts of the 4th-century perimeter walls and visit the Acropolis where there are two ancient temples and several ancient buildings. Several other historic Roman buildings can also still be visited including the remnants of the Roman Theater, and places where the Twilight Movie was filmed. Volterra
