Val di Cecina & On the Track of the Etrurian



Volterra and Val di Cecina
Val di Cecina is the name of an area stretching in the southern part of the province of Pisa along the Cecina river (hence the name). In Val di Cecina almost inaccessible peaks alternate with steep gullies - the so-called Balze di Volterra - and gentle hills sloping towards the plain near the mouth of the Cecina river.

In this region where forests alternate with wide meadows rises Volterra, the most important town in Val di Cecina thanks to its Etruscan finds, its Roman remains, its Medieval buildings and its craftsmen working alabaster. Val di Cecina is scattered with small historical towns and hamlets, such as Bibbona, Montecatini in Val di Cecina and Guardistallo.
