Assisi
Assisi is one of Italy's top sights, competing with the Colosseum, Pompeii, and Venice's canals. It boasts some of Italy's finest early Renaissance art. One of the top attractions is the remarkably preserved portico of a Roman temple on its main square. The Basilica of San Francesco d'Assisi (St Francis) is a World Heritage Site that well worths a visit. The town is dominated by two medieval castles. The larger, called Rocca Maggiore, was built by Cardinal Albornoz (1367). | Book this City | Orvieto
Situated on the flat summit of a large butte of volcanic tufa, Orvieto is one of the most beautiful cities in Italy's region named Umbria. The site of the city is among the most dramatic in Europe, rising above the almost-vertical faces of tufa cliffs that are completed by defensive walls built of the same stone. The main attraction of the town is the spectacular Duomo, one of Italy's finest Gothic buildings dating from 1290. Its glittering mosaic facade is visible for miles around. | Book this City | Perugia
Perugia is the capital city of Umbria, central Italy, claiming to be one of the most cosmopolitan medieval cities in the world. It hosts numerous Gothic palaces and jazz cafes, as well as some one of Italy's largest state universities. It is also the place to learn Italian and Italian customs, as it is home to Universita per Stranieri, the country's most prestigious of its kind. Perugina, a fine Italian chocolatier, is based here, and this is also a place to enjoy a famous European jazz festival in the summer. | Book this City | Spoleto
Spoleto is located in the region of Umbria, Perugia province and hosts numerous Roman ruins and medieval buildings terraced from the valley up on the hill. Among the sites worth visiting are the Roman theather, the Roman amphiteater, Ponte del Torri, a 13th century aqueduct possibly built on a Roman foundation, the Duomo, and many other palazzi, churches, and other ancient structures. | Book this City | Todi
Overlooking the east bank of the Tiber, Todi is one of the most enchanting hill towns, a maze of narrow medieval streets, with many alleys whose graceful sets of stairs flow down the center. One of the top attractions is the 11th century gothic Cathedral, said to be erected over an ancient Roman building, probably a temple dedicated to Apollo. Other medieval sights include: the Palazzo del Capitano, the Palazzo dei Priori, the Palazzo del Popolo that are worth visiting. | Book this City |
