Pitigliano,the Medici Aqueduct
PITIGLIANO - Characteristic Etruscan and Medieval village, rises along the
crest of a tufaceous promontory of a wild beauty; its houses seem to grow
directly from the tufa. Pitigliano is also known as "the little Jerusalem" because of its settlement of a thriving Jewish Community: testimony of this glorious past is the Synagogue , the museum of the Little Jerusalem, the Matzo Bakery.
The Etruscan presence can be traced on the "Vie Cave system" (ancient lines
of communication of  mystic and religious meaning, excavated in the tufa rock) a kind of deep canyons where walk trough along many footpaths. Many necropolis skirt along the Vie Cave. Medieval and Renaissance inheritances can be seen in the "Orsini Castle", in the Medici aqueduct and in the maze of alleys of the town historical center.

In few minutes SORANO with its alleys, its archaeological areas (very suggestive agglomerate of Vitozza,  rocks and grottoes dwelt since medieval time till the begin of XX century) and the monumental complex of the Orsini Fortress

Sovana, Pretorio square

 Not far is SOVANA, authentic  jewel of the Fiora hills, where time seems to
be unreal... Sovana is the main entrance of the "archeological park of the tufa city" where we can find the famous Ildebranda Tomb  that, together with different typologies of tombs, make of Sovana an unique place in Etruria in order of concentration of Etruscan relieves.

Very elegant is the thermal center where wells up the spring (800 lt/sec at37°).
Fascinating are the natural water falls where to find a little place in the "limestone holes" isn't always so easy.but not to be missed during the stay, a unique joy for body and mind.
