Visit the town of Spoleto, in Umbri Near Villa Allegria, villa for rent in Foligno

Situated almost at the tip of the province of Perugia, the town of Spoleto is a peaceful place to stroll, breathe in the fresh air and admire the stone houses. Although it has few attractions, its medieval charm and the hospitality of its inhabitants make it a must-see when visiting Italy. So don't hesitate to take advantage of your week's holiday at our VILLA ALLEGRIA in Folino to visit Spoleto.

A little-known city brimming with historical and architectural treasures

Spoleto is a small Italian town built on a hill, and it has some wonderful surprises in store for those who are passing through. Indeed, 3 millennia of history have shaped this town, where Saint Francis of Assisi loved to stay. In fact, he built the convent of Saint Francis on Montelucco, a mountain that watches over the town and on which a sacred grove formerly dedicated to Jupiter still stands.

The city's first attraction is undoubtedly Spoleto Cathedral (or Duomo di Spoleto). With its Romanesque bell tower and loggia façade, the exterior with its 8 rose windows is awe-inspiring, but you'll also be captivated by the choir, decorated with frescoes depicting the Life of the Virgin.

Then, overlooking the town, make way for the Rocca Albornoziana (or Castello di Spoleto), a fortress built at an altitude of around 450 metres. Inside, the National Museum of the Duchy of Spoleto awaits you with the frescoes of the Camera Pinta, but there are also many other sights to see in the Salone d'Onore and the Cortile delle Armi.

Spoleto

In the heart of Spoleto, the Piazza del Mercato is flanked by charming restaurants and small shops, as well as the astonishing Fonte di Piazza, an ancient fountain. Further on, the monumental complex of San Nicolò hosts concerts and events during the Festival des Deux Mondes. And if you're in the area in June or July, be sure to take advantage of the Spoleto Music Festival, which for many years has been unique in its genre.

Finally, on the outskirts of Spoleto is the Ponte delle torri, a picturesque bridge with an incredible arch dating back to the 14th century and linking the town to Monteluco. It was the subject of a painting by William Turner, on display at the Tate Britain.
