Volterra, thanks to its strategic position,
offers the view one of the most astonishingly beautiful
nature landscapes in Tuscany.
It was one of the twelve Etruscan "lucumonie" by
the name of Velathri. During the Roman period it became
a very important dominating power over the surrounding
territory. In the Middle Ages it became a free city and
walking through its very enchanting historical centre today
we can see how the town planning has maintained intact
its Medieval character.
