Belvedere le Balze di Volterra

Belvedere le Balze di Volterra is a spectacular natural phenomenon that delights any nature and history lover.

These unique geological formations were created by long-term erosion, forming steep cliffs that over the centuries have engulfed churches, monasteries, roads and even a necropolis.

The site has a rich history dating back to the 10th century BC, when it served as a burial site. The nearby Camaldolese abbey of 1034 and the mysterious Masso di Mandringa, according to legends a meeting place for witches, add a mystical dimension to the site.

The most beautiful view of these fascinating formations is at sunset.
