Villages and Cities of Art
Concentrated in just a few dozen kilometres are some of the most renowned artistic treasures of Tuscany: the "leaning" Tower of Pisa, Volterra "the city of the Etruscans", the Churches of San Miniato. A heritage that attracts millions of visitors all through the year and from all around the world who do not always realise how many monuments and masterpieces of art our province can offer them.
Beyond the Tower… following the line of History
Pisa
The city of Pisa plays host to treasures of priceless value, making it one of Italy's most important cities of art. Piazza dei Miracoli, with its world-famous Leaning Tower, is the hub of the prized artistic and architectural offerings.
Volterra
Volterra is a gem of Etruscan, Roman, medieval and Renaissance art perched on a hill from where it governs the Cecina Valley. A simple stroll through the streets of the historical centre can reveal the city's artistic heritage.
San Miniato
San Miniato is situated along the Via Francigena, which in the Middle Ages connected northern Europe to Rome. The city enjoys a favourable position in the heart of the Arno River valley, at the crossroads of highways leading to Florence, Pisa, Lucca and Siena.
Villages
The environs of Pisa offer landscapes of a time gone by, where harmony and tranquillity are preserved and small hidden hamlets are the keepers of history, art and culture.
