Cetona

Cetona is a medieval city in Siena in Tuscany.

Understand
Originally inhabited by Etruscans and Romans, Cetona developed on a hillside around a fortress, which is still privately owned today. In the 14th Century it was ruled by Siena and Orvieto until 1354, and, after a brief rule by Perugia, was annexed by Siena, which strengthened its fortifications.

Get in
By car Cetona is easily accessible by taking the A1 Autostrada from Rome or Florence, leaving at Chiusi. There are also rail connections through Chiusi.
