Volterra is one of the most beautiful and unspoilt medieval towns in Tuscany. The Etruscan origins of the town are still evident in the medieval walls and the fortress on the hill. The town is also famous for its alabaster, which is used to make a wide range of products, from lamps and candlesticks to figurines and chess sets. There are several small shops in the town where you can buy some beautiful examples of this craftsmanship. Volterra is also home to a number of art galleries, including the Pinacoteca Civica, which houses a collection of paintings by Tuscan and Umbrian masters.
