Itinerary
Piazza IV Novembre
An elegant fountain dominates the center of the square, while the Palazzo dei Priori, guarded by the Grifo and the Lion, and the Cathedral of San Lorenzo, with the Christ of Salt, tell centuries of history and traditions. This is Piazza IV Novembre, the beating heart of Perugia: the place where once crossed the cardo and the decumanus of the Roman city and where even today you can find the most authentic symbols of Perugia’s identity.
Porta Sole
Porta Sole is the highest viewpoint in Perugia, a place from which to admire the Listing of the city and the hilly landscape that surrounds it. From here you can perceive the evolution of the city, with the medieval walls, more extensive than the previous Etruscan walls.
Arco Etrusco
The Etruscan Arch is one of the most extraordinary testimonies of ancient Perugia and one of the best preserved monumental entrances to the city. Built over two thousand years ago, it continues to welcome those who enter the historic center, telling the Etruscan origins of Perugia.
Corso Vannucci
Corso Vannucci is the main axis of the historic center of Perugia and crosses the monumental heart of the city. Flanked by elegant noble palaces and important public buildings, it tells centuries of history, art and city life, still preserving the charm of medieval and Renaissance Perugia.
Rocca Paolina
The Rocca Paolina is the imposing fortress commissioned by Pope Paul III in the sixteenth century as a symbol of papal power over Perugia. What remains of it today, among its striking underground streets and the remains of the ancient medieval quarter incorporated into the structure, offers a fascinating journey into the history of the city.
Giardini Carducci
The Carducci Gardens offer one of the most suggestive viewpoints in Perugia, overlooking the Umbrian hills and the landscapes that surround the city. From here you can admire the grandeur of San Domenico, which characterizes the Perugina skyline, and you can see Assisi lying on Mount Subasio in the distance. The Guide bids you farewell, letting you enjoy this beautiful landscape.
