Information about Anghiari

Anghiari is a lovely medieval town lying between two rivers, the Tiber and the Arno. Surrounded by castles and country churches Anghiari looks out over the beautiful High Tiber Valley landscape, a natural amphitheatre filled with the spirituality of St. Francis of Assisi.

 The countryside around Anghiari has an untouched atmosphere with ancient woods dotted with monasteries and archaeological sites. The origins of Anghiari are very old. It looks typically medieval and is perched up on a hillside, looking out over the Tiber and Sovara valleys. If you look up at the town from the valley you can enjoy a wonderful view, but wandering in the streets of the old town is even more delightful. Visitors can walk along the lanes and admire the traditional stone houses, stairways and attractive small squares which reflect the varied history of the town over the centuries.

In Anghiari you can visit the Palazzo Taglieschi museum where there are frescos, panel paintings and wood sculptures (the most important masterpiece is the Holy Virgin with Child by Jacopo della Quercia), valuable glazed pots, small statues, musical instruments and weapons all of which show the variety of skills of the local artisans over the centuries.
