Enjoy the slower way of life, lazy lunches with the finest wines, and spectacular views of the Umbrian countryside from the medieval hilltop town of Spoleto.
Start your adventure at the Rocca Albornoziana, a castle that sits high in the Umbrian hills and is the highest point in Spoleto. You can learn about Spoleto’s history at the museum inside the fortress. Enjoy birdseye panoramas and admire the impressive 13th-century Roman aqueduct Ponte delle Torre. This 80-meter high structure is the symbol of the city and stands out among the greenery of the countryside.
Immerse yourselves in the ancient atmosphere of one of the oldest cities in Italy. The cobbled streets of the historic center will enchant you and enjoy getting lost discovering its many treasures.
Visit the Piazza del Duomo with the impressive Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta. Relax in the tranquillity of the piazza with its gentle buzz and then go inside the cathedral which will treat you to stunning frescoes by Pinturicchio and Filippo Lippi. The Piazza del Mercato is another lovely square where you can find a fantastic clock fountain
Other top sights in Spoleto are the Archaeological Museum, a Roman House, the Roman theatre which hosts various concerts and events including the Spoleto festival (Festival dei due Mondi). Stop at a local cafe or restaurant for a drink or some local dishes and enjoy the ‘dolce vita’ in Italy's Spoleto!
