The Lombards favored and survived the Middle Ages intact, but was under the Florentine domination until the unification of Italy in 1860. Almost all the buildings are made of "bench", a king of limestone related to the alabaster for which Voletrra is famous.
The stone flagged streets and squares have wonderful buildings, such as the Palace of the Priors, the Cathedral, baptistery and square, a wealth of excellent restaurants and plenty of more.
