Palazzo della Fraternità dei Laici

After a relaxing few beverages and delicious lunch, we decided visit the Museo Palazzo Di Fraternita, Museum of the Fraternity. This is situated inside the palace of the Fraternity of the Lay, of which construction was started in 1375 and completed by Giorgio Vasari in the mid-16th century. It now has on display artwork, manuscripts and documents dating back to the 1400s. We were also able to go up to the clock tower to see the Astronomical Clock. Dating back to 1552 it is one of the rarest watches in Europe, unique in Italy for its size and type of functionality. It does seem to ring randomly though.

The views over the Grand Piazza and Arezza from the top of the clock tower showed us how much we have to explore, from the churches in the distance to the numerous towers. We finished the day with dinner of pasta and ragu back in our room before an early night. We can’t wait to see it all tomorrow.Baca lagi
