Around Umbria

Myriads of ancient architectural works can be found in Umbria and Perugia. Here we suggest some, such as the Church of San Francesco al Prato, one of the first in Italy built after his death, or the Church of San Michele Arcangelo, also known as “the little temple” due to its characteristic circular shape.
Passing through Città di Castello, you can find traces of Raffaello Sanzio, where he created two extremely beautiful works: the Marriage of the Virgin and the Crucifixion, and received his first commissioned work, an altarpiece that unfortunately has been dismembered over time.

Another very ancient place is the Basilica of San Pietro in Perugia, located on an EtruscanRoman sacred area on Via Borgo XX Giugno. Its origin could date back to the 4th century (after Constantine’s edict).
