  Beautiful old building located in an equally beautiful square. From the bell tower you can enjoy a splendid view. Entrance ticket too expensive.

  Beautifull townhall, if you are lucky and there is no ceremony, you cab have a look inside. Upstairs you need to pay 3 euros to climb the tower, the view is nice.

  We are in front of the oldest historical building in Tuscany. Built between 1220 and 1260, it is still used today for meetings of the city Council. He was an inspiration for the most famous "Palazzo Vecchio" in Florence. It is certainly the symbol of the Middle Ages Volterriano.
