Arezzo

Located at an elevation of 296 meters, Arezzo stands on a hilltop in eastern Tuscany, 80 kilometers southeast of Florence, with ancient walls surrounding its historic center.

Founded in the 9th century BC as an Etruscan settlement named Aritim, Arezzo became a Roman military station in 311 BC and developed into a prominent trade center.

The Basilica of San Francesco contains frescoes by Piero della Francesca, while the Gothic Cathedral of Saint Donatus exhibits sculptures by Della Robbia.

The train station provides direct connections to Florence every 30 minutes, making Arezzo accessible for visitors wanting to explore its Medieval streets and museums.

The monthly Antiques Fair transforms Piazza Grande into Italy's largest open-air antique market, attracting collectors from across the country.
