CORTONA TOURIST INFORMATION
Cortona is one of the oldest hilltop towns in Tuscany, with cobbled streets and alleyways of medieval buildings built by the Etruscans. The town is approached by a tortuous road that winds through terraces of vines and olive groves, where breathtaking views of the Val di Chiana and beyond can be enjoyed.
Cortona has long been associated with the arts and mysticism and it continues to have a thriving arts community. Nearby Gubbio and Deruta are also famous for their ceramics. It has a long history and anyone interested in archaeology will find the nearby Etruscan tombs and museum in Cortona simply amazing.
