In a nutshell
A place where the time is really stopped undred of years ago
Martin_S. Says: We were surprised to find a Museum of Electronics here in the old town of Arezzo, so decided to spend a few minutes and take a look. The Museum charges 3 Euro, although you CAN contribute more to its upkeep if you like. It has a mass of old electronic devices, some of which...
cjg1 Says: The Piazza Grande is a large medieval square in the town of Arezzo. It was once the main marketplace of the city but still is a high pedestrian traffic area. This is where the Giostra del Saracino is held every year where medieval knights joust and compete. The Piazza is...
cjg1 Says: The statue of Vittorio Fossombroni is in the Piazza San Francesco in front of the church. Vittorio's heirs had the statue made and given as a giftto Arezzo in 1864. Vittorio was a citizen of Arezzo as well as a scientist and politician. He was an engineer for th Grand Duke...
cincinavoi Says: Traveling can be exhausting, so why not take some time to relax in the park? We always go the park in Arezzo, near the edge of the walls of the city. There are swings, a teeter-totter, etc. for the kids and lots of beautiful walks under the trees. You can walk to the edge of...
Fresco in an official building.
euzkadi Says: My friend Ileana took me to this governement building (i can´t remember the name of the building, or where it is) with a big reunion hall, containing a very interesting fresco wich depicts some famous persons of the city as Petrarca, Vasari, Piero Della Francesca and Guido...
euzkadi Says: This is the main piazza of the city and the heart of Arezzo. The piazza is surrounded by some great buildings and churches like Santa Maria Della Pieve, The Palazo Della Fraternita Dei Laici, The Palazzo Lapolli and The Palazzo Cofani. In this famous Piazza is where La...
euzkadi Says: A 12th-century church built in Lombard Romanesque style, with a large tower bell of more than 36 mts located in the main medieval square. Inside above the main altar you will see a beautiful polypytch of four pannels of the Madonna with child and saints by Pietro Lorenzetti.
euzkadi Says: Built in one of the highest hills of the city this cathedral is a beautiful Gothic structure, it was begun in 1277, continued in 1313 and 1510 but not completed until the 1,900´s. The church was constructed in the architectural style of the Mendicant Order. The interior has...

Miva Restaurant: Calzonni, you may want to miss
Martin_S. Says: We found the Miva Restaurant just outside the old city gates and took a look inside. The interior looked inviting and we decided to have a late lunch (actually early dinner). WE had a variety of Italian dishes, Ziv and I went for the Calzonni. Now I must admit that we cannot...
Rhonda's: Rhonda's, don't upset her....
Martin_S. Says: We arrived at the park located at the highest point in Arezzo. The park is adjacent to the castle there and also has a number of statues scattered around, a nice shady hill in the middle of stone and masonary of a medieval town. Also there we found Rhonda's, a sort of coffee...
Mikebond Says: Arezzo is located on the Firenze-Roma slow railway line (it is called this way in opposition to the direttissima line, where trains travel at 250 km/h, but this doesn't mean this line is slower than others). It is connected to many Tuscan towns with regional trains and to...
Dried, salted or smoked pork for everyone
Martin_S. Says: The type of dried, salted or smoked pork shown here, seems to be the most popular along the countries that border the Mediteranian, or at least we have found them very popular in Portugal, France, Spain, Italy and Greece...What I did want to suggest is that if you have the...
cjg1 Says: The Saracen Joust is the town's equivelent to a medieval festival. Town's people dress up in medieval costumes while knights joust and race around the piazza's and town. The knights wear colors and symbols representing different areas of Arezzo. The custom of the joust began...
euzkadi Says: If you have a car, a good option is to visit some of the nice small towns that surrounds the city, in this vilages one can see how the life in the rural area is, i visited some towns of the area on my way to San Leo.
Martin_S. Says: Entering the Santa Maria Square after we had walked down from the highest point in the old town of Arezzo, was a pleasant shady surprise. We found shops, butchers and more along the sides of the square. We stopped in at one shop for a drink here and sat down outside to enjoy...
Interesting things on the streets of Arezzo
Martin_S. Says: Well things that catch my eye anyway.The first photo shows to young girls who we thought were just enjoying a sandwich and glass of wine, then we noticed that there were a group of photographers snaping away, apparently a model shoot.The second photo is a beautiful set of...
Martin_S. Says: Located on the main street leading up to the fort and gardens at the top of the hill located within the walled city, the Cathedral of San Donato is a very striking structure. The interior is not as overly ostentatious as many we have seen in Europe, but its less overpowering...
Building with symbols, what do they mean?
Martin_S. Says: Okay, this is the building I spoke of in my introduction to Arezzo, as I said it may have been a type of guild meeting house, or at least that is what struck me as I studied the different plaques or shields with their totally dissimilar artwork. It looks as if each had been...
Come on in to the streets of Arezzo
Martin_S. Says: The old town (walled) of Arezzo is not that large that you cannot take a few hours to walk ALL the streets, but we basically followed the path of least resistance...from the entrance gate where we saw the small lion figure guarding the entrance, we followed the main street...
