Splendid Spello Walking Tour
Description
Spello is the city of hidden treasures. Two of them we will see as they were made more than 500 years ago. The third can be tasted or also used as a cosmetic; this is Spello's extra virgin olive oil: pure liquid gold.

Itinerary
Main Roman gate of the city that preserves intact the original paving. The city was considered a splendid colony, faithful to Emperor Augustus. That is why it was completed with a walled enclosure that remains intact and that gives the characteristic pink color to the city.
Spello’s “Infiorata” party is a good reason to deck windows and balconies with plants. On the facades are exposed the tiles with the awards of each year.
An immersive experience in a fairy tale made on the walls of this chapel by the “little painter” named Pinturicchio. Childhood stories of Jesus, witches and hangmen. What's the relationship between them?
Here hides another of the treasures of the great master Pinturicchio with a busy Saint John Child writing a letter. Guess who?
We finish our tour with magnificent views of the countryside and the towers of another of the gates of the wall. Do you know that there was a temple nearby dedicated (perhaps) to the goddess of Beauty?
