Arezzo — Piazza Grande & Basilica di San Francesco
Tuscany
Arezzo's Piazza Grande slopes noticeably from one end to the other, ringed by medieval and Renaissance buildings, while a short walk away the Basilica di San Francesco holds Piero della Francesca's celebrated fresco cycle "The Legend of the True Cross".
