Wonderful Cortona and Arezzo Day Trip
This morning we will drive under the Tuscan Sun to reach the wonderful towns of Cortona and Arezzo.
Cortona is a small charming town in the Valdichiana, or Chiana Valley, in the province of Arezzo in southern Tuscany. The city, enclosed by stone walls dating back to Etruscan and Roman times, sits on the top of a hill about 600 meters (about 1968 feet) above sea level. This dominant position over the valley offers a spectacular view from all over the town of the surrounding valley and even Lake Trasimeno.
Often overshadowed by its more famous Tuscan neighbors, Arezzo is best known for its unique medieval architecture and its Piero Della Francesca murals in the Basilica of S. Francesco. Its wildly-sloping Piazza Grande, which is 10 m higher on one side than the other, hosts a monthly open-air antique fair and medieval jousting each summer. Arezzo has been immortalized in films such as La Vita è Bella and The English Patient.
