Description Cortona: Visible from all around, a five kilometer drive through vineyards and olive groves, passing the splendid Renaissance church of Santa Maria delle Grazie en route, will take you up and up towards the town, dominated by the ubiquitous Medici fortress. Ancient fortified walls surround Cortona, and this built in planning restriction has meant that nearly all-new development has occurred lower down the hill, leaving Cortona as a delightful mediaeval town to explore on foot. Cortona is located in the central Italian region of Tuscany (Toscana), in the Province of Arezzo. The town isn't far from the border with Umbria, and its magnificent views extend over the green plains and hills of Tuscany and Umbria, extending beyond the lovely Lake Trasimeno. Cortona is a pleasant day-trip destination for tourists exploring Tuscany, and it's appealing enough to use as a base for a more relaxing holiday. The town is attractive and welcoming, with several inviting bars and restaurants off the central piazzas.
