WordTravels.com - Cortona Holiday Resorts: Cortona perches above the lofty hills of olive groves and vineyards overlooking Lake Trasimeno and the plain of Valdichiana. It is one of the oldest cities in Tuscany and its Etruscan roots have been indelibly imprinted onto its foundations. It also stakes a claim as a 'City of Art', having spawned the great artists, Luca Signorelli and Pietra da Cortona. Most of the Etruscan city is hidden in basements but part of the original 4th-century BC walls can be seen at the base of Porta Colonia's outer side. Climbing the city's cut-stone staircases and meandering along its cobbled streets guides one back through the past from the Renaissance to the Middle Ages and beyond. The medieval houses along via Janelli are the oldest in Italy; massive timber beams support their overhanging upper stories. Places of special interest include the Palazzo Comunale, Museo dell'Accademia Etrusca (containing a number of major Etruscan artefacts) and the church of San Francesco, the first Franciscan church outside Assisi.
WelcomeTuscany.it - Cortona Travel Guide: A city of ancient and mysterious origins. Perched high up on a hilltop stands the old and majestic town of
Cortona, which can be clearly seen in all its splendour even from afar: a rare trait for a Tuscan town. The ancient hamlets are in fact situated high up on a hillock from where the surrounding lands can be surveyed for miles around. It was for this reason that Italian villages were usually concealed from view behind fortress-like walls.
Cortona has been designed in a fan-shape on consecutive levels so as not to be hidden by its surrounding walls. In fact just the opposite is true: the walls seem to draw the levels together and push them upwards, offering visitors an unforgettable first glance. This certainly makes the town seem a very attractive place to visit, but before setting out on your tour it is advisable to get to know at least some of the main aspects of Cortona's past that characterise its abundant culture and art. Cortona boasts extremely old Umbrian and Etruscan Lucomonia origins (dating back to around the 6th century B.C.).
