Pitigliano is known for its striking location atop a tuff cliff. The town is also called "Little Jerusalem" because of its historical Jewish community. Pitigliano boasts a unique blend of Etruscan and Jewish architecture, featuring narrow alleys, arches, and staircases carved into the rock. The town's main attractions include the Palazzo Orsini, an impressive Renaissance palace, and the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul, which houses a range of important artworks.

In addition to its cultural heritage, Pitigliano is known for its natural beauty, including the stunning views from the town's cliffs and the nearby Terme di Saturnia, a thermal bath complex with natural hot springs. Visitors to Pitigliano can also sample the town's culinary delights, including traditional Tuscan dishes such as Pici, a thick hand-rolled pasta, and Acquacotta, a vegetable soup made with stale bread and egg.

Overall, Pitigliano is a great destination for anyone interested in history, architecture, nature, and food. The town's unique blend of cultural influences and stunning natural surroundings make it a truly unforgettable experience.
