Arezzo is a captivating Tuscan city where ancient Etruscan roots, medieval charm, and Renaissance art converge to create a rich travel experience. Perched above rolling valleys like Valdarno, Valdichiana, Casentino and Valtiberina, the city combines sweeping countryside views with elegant architecture and historic streets. A highlight is the Basilica of San Francesco, which houses Piero della Francesca’s famed frescoes “The Legend of the True Cross.” The Gothic-style Cathedral of Saints Peter and Donatus offers stained glass masterpieces and ornate details that enchant art lovers.
Piazza Grande, with its striking slope and mixed architectural styles, blooms with life in monthly antiques fairs and during the Giostra del Saracino jousting tournaments held in summer and early autumn. Arezzo’s impressive palace landmarks include the Loggiato Vasariano and Palazzo della Fraternita dei Laici, both reflective of Vasari’s influence and Tuscan artistic legacy. Museums filled with sacred art, Etruscan artifacts and paintings from the Middle Ages to the 19th century reveal the city’s cultural depth.
