Volterra has a long history. Already in the 4th century BC Chr., The place was formed from the combination of several small Etruscan settlements, whose existence until the 7th century BC. Can be traced back. At that time, the Etruscans built a seven-kilometer ring wall and called the now united city Velathri.
Volterra was one of the oldest and largest of the twelve federal cities of Etruria. Later it was a Roman city with the rights of a municipium. Its high position made it a strong fortress, the Sulla in the first civil war after a two-year siege in 79 BC. Chr. Could take.
In the 12th and 13th centuries Volterra was a republic; in the 14th century it fell to Florence.

Ideal for tours in the old town is the large free parking Docciola on the medieval "Porta e Fonti di Docciola". For campers with parking fees. The area is located on Viale dei Filosofi in the north of the center. It is about 500 meters to the Acropolis. Wide stairways lead up the hill to Piazza XX Settembre.
Another free car park is located in Piazzale ex Stazione Ferroviaria.

Lovely town, it is also worth a tour of the city wall with fantastic views of the hills.
