Pitigliano Historic Town

Highlight • Settlement

beautiful old town with winding streets.
The hollow paths start already below the gate via Porta di Sovana.
Above the paths you have to follow the little traffic road for about 1 km, but you will be rewarded with a view of the city.
The paths can become smooth after rainy weather.

Via Porta di Savona Staircase, Pitigliano Old Town

Highlight (Segment) • Historical Site

From the slope, which runs around the old town of Pitigliano below the tuff massif, a longer staircase of stone steps (Via Porta di Savona) leads in arches in the north-west corner up to the old town gate, through which you can reach the old town of Pitigliano, which is well worth seeing. From the stairs there are interesting views of the houses on the north slope. Another access via a long stairway (Via dei Lavatoi) is located "opposite" in the southeast on this slope as another HL.

Via Cava di Poggio Cani

Highlight (Segment) • Canyon

The “vie cave”, a multitude of narrow streets that lead like canyons through the tuff rock, have also been dug into the rather soft tufa. The Etruscans were the originators of this bizarre road system more than 2,500 years ago. Why the “vie cave” were created and for what purpose they were used remains a mystery to scientists to this day: Were the ravines merely connecting and supply routes between Etruscan settlements? Did you serve to drain the rainwater? Or were they mystical places of worship? The proximity of the Etruscan people to mysticism and astrology - and the numerous necropolises that one encounters when walking through the paths speak for the latter point of view

Via Cava di Fratenuti

Highlight (Segment) • Gorge

The Via Cava di Fratenuti is undoubtedly one of the most spectacular excavated Etruscan cave roads, characterized by walls up to twenty meters high adorned with engravings and inscriptions dating back to both the Etruscan and medieval times.

Thanks to the particular temperature range of this deep corridor carved into the rock, a special microclimate has developed which favors the growth of a vast variety of ferns, mosses and lichens. It is a place of solitary and primitive beauty, where time seems to have stopped.

View of Pitigliano

Highlight • Viewpoint

In the medieval village of Pitigliano, also known as Little Jerusalem, due to the Jewish community that lived there until after the war, it is still possible to visit the characteristic synagogue today.

Pitigliano Entrance Gate

Highlight • Monument

Pitigliano is always worth a trip. Both the upper path and the lower path into the city are a pleasure. The small narrow streets invite you to explore and the small shops to shop.
