3.50 euro per adult entrance to a central building in the town with considerable history. The guides will let you up different stages of the building and there is some modern art on display as well. Nice views out from the various window ledges and the bell tower is worth the short extra climb. Could definitely do with some more... More

We were married in this, the oldest town hall in Tuscany, in June 2012. Hopefully the pictures speak for themselves :o) we were both so happy with the ceremony, officiant and the whole ease of planning the wedding.

I really like Volterra - beautiful town up in the hills with amazing views all around. I especially loved walking around the Palazzo dei Priori and surrounding area at night time. It was so quiet...and medieval! It was one of my favorite moments while visiting Italy. Volterra has an amazing personality; it's hard to describe. But whatever "it" is, I... More

We had a fairytale wedding here and the best wedding planner (contact me!) . We were presented with a gift from the mayor too. The building is ancient and full of history.

Beautiful site, lovely to visit and photograph. The tower was closed on Friday, but the lobby itself is worth the trip!

We have been in the Priori on several occasions and it never fails to impress. I would suggest going into the Town Hall (the oldest in Italy) and then a visit to the Tourist Information Centre for the best reception I have ever received in an Italian town. The staff are so helpful and speak really good English. The restaurants... More
