Weddings in Cortona
Weddings in Cortona by Exclusive Italy Weddings
Cortona is one of the prettiest villages of Tuscany, the ideal location for your wedding in Italy. Cortona is a beautifully situated walled town climbing up a steep hillside covered with olive trees. Views from the Lake Trasimeno are wonderful.
Enjoy the atmosphere of this medieval town: its narrow twisting street are a pleasure to wander. Its small squares and colourful buildings as simply delightful. Cortona might be one of Italy’s oldest towns – “Mother of Troy and Grandmother of Rome”, in popular speech. Tradition claims that it was founded by Dardanus, the founder of Troy. By the 4th century BC the Etruscan had built the first set of town walls, whose cyclopean traces can still be seen in the 3km sweep of the present fortifications.
After Under the Tuscan Sun (marvellous read) and Bella Tuscany the town became particularly visited by tourist from all over the world. Cortona is particularly romantic and we highly recommend this little village for a romantic and unforgettable wedding in Italy.
