View of Montecatini Val di Cecina

Highlight • Viewpoint

The village of Montecatini Val di Cecina is located among the picturesque hills of Valdicecina, a few kilometers from the historic city of Volterra. Anciently known as Monte Leone (Castrum Montis Leonis), this place has a long history of territorial disputes between the cities of Pisa and Volterra, before becoming part of the possessions of Florence in 1472.

The history of Montecatini is closely linked to the nearby copper mines of Caporciano, which have a thousand-year history, dating back to the Etruscan era, and which remained active until the early twentieth century.

Piazza dei Priori, Volterra

Highlight • Historical Site

The city of Volterra stands on a hill between the Era and Cecina valleys, surrounded by two historic city walls: one dating back to the Etruscan era and the other built in the thirteenth century. This city, known in Etruscan times as Veláthri, was one of the major city-states of ancient Etruria. During the Middle Ages, Volterra became the seat of an important episcopal lordship. Its fame is linked to the fine workmanship of alabaster, an art that constitutes one of the most significant contributions to Italian craftsmanship.

View of Volterra from Piazza Martiri della Libertà

Highlight • Viewpoint

From here you have a fantastic view of the plain with the imposing prison in the back. In normal times, life rages here during the day. Nevertheless, the place has retained the original and in the evening, when the otherwise numerous tourists have disappeared, the locals meet in the alleys.
