Experience the Best of Arezzo
Being one of the oldest cities, Arezzo has much to offer. To experience the best of Arezzo, here are some of the sightseeing attractions that you must add to your Arezzo travel package itinerary:
Piazza Grande
Like with any other Italian city, the soul of Arezzo is in its main square, the Piazza Grande. With its sloped, irregular shape, it is one of Tuscany’s oldest and most beautiful squares. The square features a range of buildings from different eras, giving it a unique flair. Some of the beautiful buildings facing onto the square are the Loggiato Vasariano, the Pieve di Santa Maria and the Palazzo della Fraternita dei Laici. Cathedral of Arezzo
The Cathedral of Arezzo, also known as the Cathedral of Santi Donato e Pietro, is the city’s main place of worship. Dedicated to San Donato, the former bishop of the city, the cathedral boasts an intricate façade adorned with beautiful sculptures and stained glass windows that tell biblical stories. Its interior is a treasure trove of Renaissance art, featuring works by renowned artists such as Piero della Francesca and Andrea della Robbia. Overall, whether you are an art lover, a history enthusiast, or just someone seeking a peaceful place, the Cathedral of Arezzo definitely deserves a spot in your Arezzo holiday tour package. Palazzo della Fraternita dei Laici
Arezzo is home to a range of museums, but the Palazzo della Fraternita dei Laici is arguably the best place to start. Also known as the Palace of the Lay Fraternity, the palace was home to a local charitable organisation for centuries and has been a museum since 2010. Inside the museum, you can find countless pieces of art and an astronomical clock as its centrepiece. The highlight of the museum is the upper floor, from which you can see almost all of Arezzo. Medici Fortress
The Medici Fortress is another destination that definitely deserves a spot in your Arezzo travel package. Dating back to the 16th century, the fortress is situated at the top of the Hill of San Donato, offering visitors an incredible view of the city, including the Arezzo Cemetery. The highlight of the place is the art exhibitions held inside the fortress. Vasari’s House (Casa Vasari)
Vasari’s house, or Casa Vasari, was the family home of Giorgio Vasari, the renowned painter, architect, and art historian. Purchased in 1541, Vasari decorated his house in a way only an artist would do, by covering the ceilings and walls with paintings that he completed himself. Although he lived there briefly, the house remains one of the best-preserved examples of an artist's home from the Renaissance, making it a must-visit destination for your Arezzo vacation package. Arezzo Antique's market
The Arezzo Antiques market is the largest and oldest market in Italy, having been established in 1968. The market is held every first Sunday of the month and the Saturday before on the Piazza San Francesco, Piazza Grande and the Logge Vasari. The fair brings together 500 stalls from throughout the country, selling everything from paintings, books, historic prints and modern antiques to toys, watches, and other knick-knacks.
