We were moving away approximately 80 kilometers of the city of Florence, when we discover the village of Cortona, surrounded with vineyards and olive groves. Impregnated with history, in this city the time has stopped 400 years ago. It turns out to be a marvel to do a trip for the Tuscany and to discover this so wonderful corner …
You must walk along the narrow and steep alleys of stone of Cortona. Often they open way to themselves across coffees, bars and pasticcerías, and in other occasions they pass between dark alleys, which will take you up to the most historical places of the city.
In addition to the history and the culture, Cortona lodges one of the most interesting festivals of Europe, the Festival of the Sun of the Tuscany, which receives concerts and other arts as the movies. This year will take place from July 31 until August 5, so that you are reserving your hotels with advance. Most of the concerts and events take place in the Theater Signorelli and the Auditorium of San Agostino.
Pero Cortona is one of the cities richest in history of Italy. We wander about the streets for the city to visit the Diocesan Museum, in Piazza del Duomo, where you will see the best Italian art of the XIVth and XVth centuries. Also you have the Museum of the Etruscan Academy, placed in Palazzo Casali, constructed in the XIIIth century. The lovers of the archaeology you must go to the Museum Farneta, and if you want to see churches, the best in Cortona are the Sanctum of Santa Margarita and Santa Maria of the Calcinaio.
We want to recommend to you also two hotels to stay at Cortona. One of them is the Hotel San Michele, located in one of the most ancient buildings of the city, to only a few steps of the squares, museums, theaters and restaurants of the historical center. The double rooms have a price for 100 euros the night.
Other of the hotels is The Gelosie, in the center of Cortona, with beautiful conference to Piazza Signorelli. Some of the scenes of the movie of La Vida she is Beautiful they were filmed here. The double rooms have a price for 95 euros, and in the price the breakfast is included.
To come to Cortona you have the Airport of Florence at only one hour in car.
