Set on a hill at 545 metres altitude, Volterra dominates and divides the Val di Cecina and the Val d’ Era. Its isolated position, away from the sea and the main urban settlements, has fostered over the centuries the growth of its strategic importance. Rich in history and culture, Volterra still buildings that tell its history. Its gray stone buildings, walls, palaces of the centre, the magnificent Piazza dei Priori, are still witness of the glory.
