Founded by the Umbri tribes in the 5th century BCE, Spoleto boasts a rich tapestry of landmarks, including the imposing Rocca Albornoziana, a 14th-century fortress offering panoramic views, and the Ponte delle Torri, a remarkable Medieval aqueduct stretching 750 feet. Explore the restored Roman theatre dating back to the 1st century BCE, and immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of the annual Festival dei Due Mondi, a celebration of international art, music, and culture that attracts renowned artists and performers. Lose yourself in Spoleto's charming cobblestone streets, inviting piazzas, and Medieval architecture, where tradition and modernity harmoniously coexist.
Montefalco
Ascend to Montefalco, known as "The Balcony of Umbria," and be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding valleys. This Medieval town exudes timeless beauty, inviting you to wander its winding streets adorned with colorful potted plants and flowers.

Bevagna

Despite its small size, Bevagna offers a wealth of captivating sights, including spare but handsome architecture, Romanesque churches, well-preserved Roman ruins with intricate mosaic floors, the old public washhouse along the river, and an elegant red brick bridge gracefully arching over the water. Legend has it that St. Francis preached to the birds just outside the village's Medieval walls, which still stand today. Discover the enduring artisan traditions of Bevagna, where silk, beeswax candles, and handmade paper crafted from hemp have been produced for centuries.
