MUSEUMS OF VOLTERRA
Discover Volterra: 3,000 years of history in one experience!
The Museums of the City of Volterra
In Volterra, every stone tells a story, every museum is a journey through time. In this extraordinary Tuscan city, the charm of the ancient world intertwines with art, craftsmanship, and the beauty of breathtaking landscapes.
In the heart of the city, the Guarnacci Etruscan Museum takes you back to the origins of Etruscan civilization with unique artifacts: the enigmatic Ombra della Sera, the powerful stele of Avile Tite, and the largest existing collection of Etruscan urns—true stories carved in stone.
Let yourself be enchanted by the Pinacoteca Civica, where the golden light of the gold backgrounds and the works of great masters such as Ghirlandaio, Signorelli, and Rosso Fiorentino will make you experience all the magic of medieval and Renaissance art.
And then there's Volterra's artisanal spirit, as explored by the Alabaster Ecomuseum: a unique material, crafted with passion for centuries, which still takes shape today in the skilled hands of local artisans.
Volterra is much more than a city to visit. It's a place to experience. The Etruscan Acropolis, the Roman Theater, and the Palazzo dei Priori await you, offering unforgettable views and moments that will remain forever in your heart.
In Volterra it is also possible to visit the splendid Palazzo Viti.
