More pics from our stay in Arezzo. We went to see some more works by Piero della Francesca in the Basilica of San Francesco - the church and frescoes featured in the English Patient - book and film.
We also visited the Fraternita dei Laici - an ancient charity, still functioning, whose original building (1375) houses an astronomical clock dating from 1550, and still working. (We enjoyed its ancient chimes all through the night!).
