The
Etruscan Volterra and the alabaster workshop
|
|
The
medieval fortress known under the name of
Maschio, nowadays used as a prison.
|
Volterra
is not only a world famous perfectly conserved
medieval town. It is above all Tuscany's most
fascinating Etruscan city. Over the
centuries Velathri (as the Etruscans called
it) got important also for the handcrafted
production of the ancient stone given to the
city as a present by the sea… the
alabaster. Here, together with one of
our tour leader, you will visit a traditional
alabaster workshop, where you can see
how the expert hands of the workers produce
a nice and elegant vase from a piece of rough
stone. Tasting of excellent chocolate
locally produced in a elegant bar in the centre
included.
|
We

tours of Volterra and the alabaster
workshop for two or more people.

You
can choose to combine the half-day
Volterra tour with either one
of our tasting tours
or another
