Volterra is a walled Medieval, Etruscan-Roman hilltop town that is located in Tuscany, so once again the views are stunning.

It's one of the larger towns in Tuscany, with plenty to do.

Being a hilltop town and the sosta being at the bottom of the hill we had to walk up 253 steps to reach the town.

Once you reach the town you are rewarded with not only the spectacular views but a really lovely town too

Some of the narrow streets had high level walkways between the buildings

There was an artisan area of the town where stonemasons and sculptors, amongst others worked to create some impressive works of art

The Roman Theater complex includes the ruins of 3rd-century baths, it looked like they were setting up for a concert, I would imagine the sound would be great in the natural bowl the complex sits in.

We spent the morning looking round the town and then headed off to our next stop, Pisa.

We are heading towards Tuscany in next few days. Currently just north of bari.

If I could have brought it home i would have kept him.
Very close to my Tabbicat I had years ago!

His mum was rescued off the streets pregnant and he was the only surviving kitten.
Turned out he had a deformed rib age and his heart sat on one side so one lung wasn’t fully formed, was told he wouldn’t be fast and wouldn’t make a great age, he proved the Vets wrong!
He was a show off, as soon as the camera came out he posed!

Thanks for an enjoyable thread Paul & Yvette.
I must be getting thick in my old age only twigged on this thread that Holly's Mum is Yvette.

Not has Yvette just been catching up with your travels or have you been away for nearly 5 months?

I have been catching up on the thread, we got home end of July but then went on lots of Fun rallies until mid September, so I have only just now managed to get it finished.
