Stage Description
This is a short and easy stage that takes us to the cradle of the Renaissance. The path descends from Citerna Hill to the Tiber Valley. The brevity of the journey allows you to arrive in time at Sansepolcro to enjoy its impressive artistic heritage, especially the masterpieces of Piero della Francesca. It's a transition stage that combines an enjoyable stroll with total immersion into the art and history of Tuscany.
The Citerna to Sansepolcro stage is a short 12.2 km journey that serves as an enjoyable recovery walk. The route starts in Citerna (480 m) and follows a mainly descending profile until the city of Sansepolcro (330 m). The route passes through a beautiful landscape, with famous hills of Tuscany. It's a peaceful and easy walk that allows you to enjoy the scenery and arrive on time to explore the destination city. Sansepolcro, birthplace of Piero della Francesca, is a Renaissance gem. Its Civic Museum, which houses "The Resurrection of Christ", is a must-visit. Its heritage and medieval atmosphere make it a very special stop. It's an episode that combines gentle exercise with rich scenic and cultural experience, the perfect balance on the Via di San Francesco.
