The city of Cortona lies as one of the oldest settlements within the province of Arezzo in Italy. Belonging to the region of Tuscany, the Etruscan city of Cortona borders the province of Siena to the south and the Umbria region to the east. With its hillside location on a mountain range that separates the Chiana Valley from the Tiber Valley, the Chiana Canal, which gives the town its name, flows through the extensive urban area, which consists of a total of 23 other districts.

Cortona offers you a cultural and historical highlight in the form of a visit to the historic Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary. Built near your vacation rental on the massive foundations of an ancient temple, the parish church was first documented in the 11th century. The architecture of the impressive cathedral includes a Romanesque core, which was transformed into an elegant Renaissance building in the middle of the 15th century and later adapted to the Baroque style.

The church of Madonna del Calcinaio is considered one of the most important works of art in Cortona.

This painting today adorns the shrine of the host above the high altar of the church. Also visit the unusually high vaults inside and admire the impressive Renaissance architecture of the Madonna del Calcinaio.
