Piazza dei Priori

Piazza dei Priori is a medieval square in the heart of the Tuscan city of Volterra, a testament to the region's rich history and architectural heritage.

The square is dominated by the oldest town hall in Tuscany, the Palazzo dei Priori, dating back to 1208, which was the model for the famous Palazzo Vecchio in Florence.

Surrounded by honey-colored stone buildings, the square impresses with its medieval charm and atmosphere. Look out for the Palazzo Pretorio from the 13th century with its distinctive Torre del Porcellino (Little Pig's Tower) and other historic buildings that reflect Etruscan and Roman influences on the city's architecture.
