A thriving medieval town, the small Tuscan city still retains precious finds dating back to that age, as evidenced by the fourteenth-century walls which enclose the city's major monuments. The original core of the city is peppered with so-called case-torri (house-towers), the traditional medieval residences which punctuate the streets of the city centre.
Not to be missed is Piazza del Comune, which was built in ‘200 and is currently dominated by the Town Hall and the fourteenth-century merloned Palazzo Pretorio. A short distance from it is Prato's Duomo, an impressive Romanesque building gathering precious artworks by acclaimed Renaissance artists. The Museum of the Duomo, together with the inestimable art collections of Palazzo Pretorio and the Museum of Wall Painting hosted inside St. Domenico, make Prato an appreciated artistic city which attracts large numbers of both experts and enthusiasts all year round.
Not to be missed are the thirteenth-century Church of St. Francesco, the church of St. Maria delle Carceri, a Renaissance masterpiece by  Giuliano da Sangallo, and the impressive Castle of the Emperor, which was erected in the 13th century.
Prato gathers a remarkably wide array of interesting historical and artistic itineraries and often arranges absorbing shows and events which give guests the possibility to get to know local customs and traditions.
