This Cortona is a small welcoming town in the Valdichiana, in the province of Arezzo
The city, enclosed by a wall where Etruscan and Roman tracts are still visible, was built on a hill, which reaches about 600 meters in height This elevated position guarantees an excellent view from different points of the city, which allows you to admire the splendid landscapes of the Valdichiana, also seeing Lake Trasimeno

Just outside the walls of Cortona, there is the Franciscan hermitage Le Celle, the first convent built by San Francesco d 'Assisi in 1211, in which today a small community of friars lives Over the centuries the hermitage has undergone several renovations and extensions, during which the small cell of San Francesco has been preserved, which can still be visited today
