An impenetrable fort with thick 13th century walls, Anghiari was very important during the Middle Ages for its strategic position. Proud of its Tuscan heritage, it was named an ally and partner to the city after the battle of June 29, 1440 between the Milanese and Florentines on the plain that lies below the walls of the city. The Battle of Anghiari was won by Florence and celebrated by Leonardo da Vinci in Palazzo Vecchio with his “missing masterpiece” which is still the subject of research and study today.
The piazza of the city and the small roads that lead off from it are home to small antique shops and restoration studios. The palazzi, churches and museums of the city boast painting and sculpture. Surrounded by small chapels and castles, Anghiari stands out in the marvelous landscape of Valtiberina, a rich natural amphitheater of incomparable beauty. The natural reserve can be visited by foot, on horseback or by mountain bike thanks to a complex network of paths. Be sure to visit the Riserva Naturale dei Monti Rognosi as well as the Golena del Tevere.
