Volterra Travel Tips
Volterra is quite a compact town; it can be seen in a day. But there are fine restaurants here--and San Gimignano is close--so it doesn't make a bad base for a stay of a week or more. Volterra doesn't have a train station. The bus terminal in Volterra is on Piazza Martiri della Liberta.
Misericordia di Volterra
The Misericordia is central to the most important areas of Volterra, between the Piazza Dei Priori, one of the most interesting medieval piazze in Italy, and the Duomo, which dates from 1120 but has been extensively remodled since.
