Overview
Perched quietly on a hillside in the Tuscan heartland, Cortona is the sun-kissed epitome of central Italy. It's not just saffron-shaded roofs and olive groves, though. There's plenty of historical culture to consume.
The Diocesan Museum of Cortona, founded after World War Two, houses stunning examples of religious iconography from around the region. Marvel at beautifully crafted paintings, altars, jewelry and vestments. Some items exhibited date back as far as the 14th and 15th centuries!
