Arezzo Cathedral (Cattedrale di Arezzo)
Highlight • Religious Site
The Cathedral of Arezzo is a Gothic three-nave basilica. The five bays of the nave are divided by bundle pillars and bear ribbed vaults. The clerestory windows have the shape of Okuli modeled on the Santa Maria Novella in Florence. To the north of the choir stands the slender, hexagonal campanile of 1857/1937. The missing transept and the abandonment of a dome are due to an influence of the mendicant architecture.

Piazza Grande of Arezzo
Highlight • Historical Site
The city is located on the Cassia, on a hill at the intersection with four valleys (the Valdarno is precisely one of these) has always played an important and prominent role in Tuscan history and its rich monuments, churches and museums to visit, are today the legacy.
The friends who left Montevarchi joined me in Loro Ciuffenna (one of the most beautiful villages in Italy) and from here we continued in the direction of the provincial capital along the Setteponti, the ancient Etruscan-Roman road.

Not far from Florence and Siena, Arezzo is an extraordinarily ancient city, older than Alexandria in Egypt. It was one of the major Etruscan centers and subsequently became a Roman city of strategic importance, as well as a center of flourishing economic activities. Today museums, theaters and monuments speak to the visitor, reviving past myths and glories in his imagination. The advanced network of accommodation facilities, on the other hand, combined with a unique local friendliness, make travel offers to Arezzo always attractive and advantageous.
The main attraction of the city is certainly the Basilica of San Francesco, located in the city center. Inside the Basilica there is the famous Bacci Chapel which preserves the wonderful cycle of frescoes of the Legend of the True Cross, a masterpiece of Renaissance painting by Piero della Francesca. Continuing along Corso Italia, we arrive at the Pieve di Santa Maria, characterized by an interesting Romanesque façade and by its bell tower, 59 meters high and also called "with a hundred holes", the most precious building of all the Tuscan Romanesque. Inside there is a polyptych by Pietro Lorenzetti, the Madonna, Saints and a wooden cross by Margarito. Of the ancient facade you can admire the extraordinary medieval cycle depicting the twelve months of the year.
