Some final pictures from Cortona

We spent our last day in Cortona in the walled city. We visited the diocesan museum, which has some incredible paintings, frescoes and other decorations that have been gathered from various local churches into this museum for safe keeping and convenient viewing. We were among very few visitors, and enjoyed some undistracted, unhurried time there.

Lamentation over the dead Christ, by Luca Signorelli--1502

Annunciation, by Fra. Angelico--1434-1436

The Chapel downstairs with frescoes, peace and quiet.

A rest on the steps in the piazza. Cortona is steep!

Our walk down the narrow road to our B & B in Camucia.
