Anghiari
A stunning medieval hilltop village, site of a legendary battle and one of Italy's most beautiful borghi.
About
Anghiari rises dramatically from the Tiber valley, its ancient stone walls and winding streets preserved almost exactly as they were in the Middle Ages. Famous for the 1440 Battle of Anghiari — immortalized by Leonardo da Vinci — the town today is a living tapestry of artisan workshops, panoramic views, and timeless Tuscan charm.
Why visit
One of Tuscany's best-kept secrets. Anghiari offers medieval beauty, artisan culture, and sweeping valley views — all without the crowds.
Art & History
The Battle of Anghiari (1440) between Florence and Milan was the subject of a lost Leonardo da Vinci mural. The town's Museo della Battaglia tells this story. Anghiari is officially one of 'I Borghi più Belli d'Italia' — Italy's most beautiful villages.
Food & Atmosphere
Traditional Tuscan fare at its finest — pici pasta with wild boar ragù, ribollita soup, local pecorino cheese, and wines from the surrounding hills. The town's restaurants serve food rooted in centuries of mountain tradition.
