Tour description<\/h3>\n

Citerna among the most beautiful villages in Italy is located in Umbria, and is about 2 km from Monterchi in Tuscany. The view is extraordinary, in every corner enchanting scenarios open towards the Valtiberina and the mountains<\/strong>. Citerna was formed by two twin and close hills: the Poggio di Sant'Angelo<\/strong> and Poggio di San Giacomo<\/strong> and had two city gates: Porta Romana and Porta Fiorentina<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The visit will start right from the Poggio di Sant'Angelo where the Rocca and the Torrione are located, to reach the Pieve di San Michele Arcangelo<\/strong>, where inside there is a Madonna and Child by Luca della Robbia and the Crucifixion by Niccolo 'Circignani il Pomarancio<\/strong>. A few steps away you will reach the main square, Piazza Scipione Scipioni with its panoramic view towards the Valley and the Civic Tower<\/strong>, we will continue to the Church Museum of San Francesco<\/strong>, where there are paintings by Raffaellino del Colle<\/strong>, a fresco by the Luca Singorelli<\/strong> school, a deposition by Pomarancio and the Madonna and Child<\/strong> in polychrome terracotta by Donatell<\/strong>o from the early fifteenth century, the Madonna di Donatello<\/strong> contributes to enrich the artistic heritage of Citerna.<\/p>\n

Possibility of visiting the ancient cisterns during the visit of the San Francesco Church Museum. A small arch leads into the path of the medieval walkway, where a series of open galleries offer a truly suggestive spectacle. From Citerna we will reach the Borgo di Monterchi<\/strong>, where the Museum of the Madonna del Parto by Piero della Francesca<\/strong> is located, which built for the Chapel of Santa Maria di Momentana between the villages of Monterchi and Citerna.<\/p>\n

After visiting the Museum, we will walk through the pretty village, to reach, through the gate and Torre Civia<\/strong>, the remains of the ancient Rocca<\/strong> where there is a large terrace overlooking the territories<\/strong> of nearby Umbria.<\/p>\n
