It’s quite a lot to look at in Arezzo. The most favourite place is medieval Piazza Grande, the central square of the old town. It creates a strong feeling of time travel -- as if you were transported to the Middle Ages. 14-15th century palazzo, Episcopal Palace, Communal Palace, high square towers that look like they were built for shooting a fantasy movie. The main gem is a very strange-looking Romanesque church Santa Maria della Pieve with façade arches, loggias and columns. It should be added that the pavement of the square is noticeably sloping and it adds more phantasmagoria to the whole image of Piazza Grande. So it’s no wonder that “unreal” is the most often used epithet in tourists’ reviews. Fragments of fortress walls, Basilica of San Francesco, Roman amphitheatre, Medici Fortress and many more ancient monuments wait for tourists literally at every corner.
