Anghiari

Voted “One of the Most Beautiful Villages in Italy,” Anghiari immediately appears to the visitor as a place almost out of time, with its medieval streets and the recently brought to light patrol walkway that passes under the circular apse of the church of St. Augustine. Along the way you will encounter the Camaldolese Abbey of St. Bartholomew, the oldest church in Anghiari, with its distinctive architecture (almost with certainty the first building was a rupestrian church), the Praetorian Palace, the Prepositura, which preserves a terracotta by Andrea della Robbia and paintings from the 1500s and 1600s (Domenico Puligo’s Deposition and Sogliani’s Last Supper and Foot Washing), and the Church of St. Augustine itself.

The visit to the historic center can be completed with entry to the Museo della Battaglia, so called because the famous Battle of Anghiari of 1440 is commemorated here through the work of the same title by Leonardo da Vinci, which has never been found, and/or with entry to the Museo Taglieschi, which tells the story of the life and traditions of Anghiari and the Valtiberina.

The cost of admission tickets is not included in the fee charged for the itinerary.
