20 minutes
Porta all'Arco
Volterra is a perennial archaeological site. It was a rich and powerful Etruscan city and fortunately still preserves some traces of this era such as Porta all'Arco, a rare example of an Etruscan city gate.
20 minutes
This square is overlooked by the city's most important religious buildings such as the Cathedral, the Baptistery and the former Hospital. Volterra boasts the birth of the second pope after St. Peter, St. Linus. Not surprisingly, his evangelization was so early that he founded an equally early diocese that would become influential and rich throughout the Middle Ages and beyond. Our walk includes only a visit to the square and does not include a tour inside the buildings.
20 minutes
Volterra remained an important city even after its conquest by the Romans. Many finds testify to this, especially the presence of buildings such as the baths and the Roman theater. We will talk about the theater from a vantage point that allows its explanation without going inside.
