The city of Piero della Francesca, Petrarca and Vasari.
This city has very ancient origins and is home to renowned people such as Vasari, Piero della Francesca and Petrarca.
Although part of the medieval city was destroyed during the Second World War, the center of Arezzo preserves splendid monuments, churches, palaces and museums.
It is impossible not to be fascinated by its most famous church: the Basilica of San Francesco. Its interior preserves the cycle of frescoes of the Legend of the True Cross by Piero della Francesca, a Renaissance masterpiece of inestimable value.
Next to the medieval towers stands the imposing Loggiato Vasariano – which surrounds Piazza Grande - a model for the one created later by the artist for the Uffizi Gallery.
A visit to the Medici Fortress, built by Cosimo I, the Palazzo della Fraternita dei Laici and the Pieve di Santa Maria, one of the best known examples of Romanesque architecture, is not to be missed.
Easy to reach by train or ask our concierge to organize a personalized tour.
