We will walk in the places that have seen the birth of our millennial city. It will be an adventure to get to know the mysterious people who contributed to the birth of Arezzo and not only.
Arezzo was one of the major centres of northern Etruria, and every stone exudes history.
With this simple trek, we want to know the places rich in history and mystery that have contributed to making the city great.
During the tour, we will visit the “Etruscan Citadel”, the first known settlement. Then “Santa Maria delle Grazie” and its water cult with its beautiful aesthetics and the legends of its sacred water. We will continue with the Etruscan remains of the Hill of “San Cornelio” with its open-air theatre overlooking the city and finally the Roman Amphitheatre that competed with the Roman brother par excellence and beauty at the time of its construction.
Arezzo and its history… all to walk.
