About
以陶瓷和彩釉陶器传统闻名世界的文艺复兴城市。
Faenza is a city in Emilia-Romagna, in northern Italy. It is known above all for its ceramics, and the word "faience" takes its name from the town, which has a long tradition of making majolica pottery. Its historic centre reflects the Renaissance period in which the city flourished.
What a visit offers
- Ceramics: the craft that gave the city its name remains central to its identity, and the pottery tradition is the main reason many visitors come.
- Renaissance townscape: wander the old streets and squares to see the architecture of the city's Renaissance heyday.
- Regional base: Faenza sits within Emilia-Romagna, so it works well as a stop for travellers exploring the wider area.
Planning your trip
Faenza suits a slow, unhurried visit built around its craft and its historic centre. Set aside time to look at the pottery and to walk through the old town at your own pace. If you are interested in Italian ceramics specifically, this is one of the places where that heritage is most directly on show.
