3Sorano

The hilltop town of Sorano, balancing precariously on a rocky outcrop, is a truly impressive sight. Seen from above, it looks as if a giant has fashioned the town from tufa rock itself.

And once you step through the ancient stone gate of the fortress, you can forget the modern world altogether. Admire the majestic fortress and the medieval historic centre, and see how the rock seems to melt into the ancient buildings.
