SPOLETO | UMBRIA | WHAT A WONDERFUL

Spoleto is a small but charming town with an ancient past. It was conquered by the Romans of 241 B.C. whose testimony are the ruins of the Roman theatre. It was besieged by the Longobards and the Goths. It became part of the Municipal Republic of Perugia in 1324, later it was part of the papal state.
Cathedral of Spoleto (Cathedral of S. Maria Assunta), Via dell'Arringo - Piazza del Duomo.
The cathedral church of Spoleto (archdiocese Spoleto-Norcia) has a beautiful gabled facade, originally from the time of construction of the church (1200) with a beautiful mosaic background gold coeval. The interior was rebuilt in the Baroque period but the beautiful frescoes by Filippo Lippi in the apse and the fresco by Pinturicchio in the first chapel on the right have been saved.
Ponte delle Torri, Tour of the Bridge. Ancient bridge, perhaps a Roman aqueduct, which connects Spoleto to the nearby hill over the deep and steep valley of the stream. From the bridge you can enjoy a beautiful view of great impact on the entire valley. To get to the bridge, follow a path that then continues and goes around the hill on which the fortress is located. Along the way you pass in front of the elevators that lead to the top of the hill.
Rocca Albornoziana
It is a fortress located on the top of the hill Sant'Elia overlooking the city of Spoleto. This is the main bulwark of the system of fortifications built by Pope Innocent VI, to strengthen militarily and make more evident the authority of the Church in the territories of central Italy, in view of the imminent return of the papal see to Rome after about seventy years of stay in Avignon. The fortress has always remained the place of command of the city then from 1817 until 1982 was used as a prison.
