The capital of Umbria, Perugia is a small city that perfectly reflects the atmosphere of the entire region: peace, tranquillity and beauty that certainly contribute to an extraordinary quality of life.

The human scale city preserves the testimonies of its past and its particular splendour from the late Middle Ages, which has made the city famous.

The downtown

The fulcrum of Perugia is its main square, Piazza IV Novembre, which houses the monument symbol of the Perugians i.e. Fontana Maggiore in the centre, erected at the end of 1200 as a symbol of the history of the city and the life of its inhabitants.

On the 50 tiles that make up the three circular tanks, the mythological origins of the city are illustrated with the calendar of agricultural trades of the mediaeval era, the liberal arts and the symbols of the city.

As a backdrop to the fountain stands the Cathedral of Perugia, better known as the Cathedral of San Lorenzo. The building is an extraordinary example of artistic contamination between late Gothic architecture, typical of the interior, with Renaissance and Baroque art that distinguishes the beautiful façade and the portico that overlooks the square. But what is most surprising about the Cathedral is a very special reliquary, called the Holy Ring which, according to legend, preserves the ring that St. Joseph gave to Our Lady on the wedding day.

Not too far from the Duomo, you can visit an ancient Etruscan well, or Pozzo Sorbello, named after its current owners. It is a gigantic work of absolutely fascinating hydraulic engineering not only for its size and features but because it can be visited internally thanks to a system of stairs that leads to its bottom of 37 metres underground.

Staying on the subject of hydraulics, you must definitely take a walk on the ancient aqueduct of Perugia, active until 1850, and today converted into a suspended street among the colourful buildings of the historic centre, from here you can enjoy a panorama certainly unprecedented.

For art lovers, the National Gallery of Umbria, located in Palazzo dei Priori, is worth a visit, with its collection of works of art - the richest in the region - starting from the eighth century.

The majestic and imposing palace is a spectacular example of mediaeval architecture, perfectly preserved and of enormous scenic impact on the square it overlooks.

Also in the city, you can visit the Rocca Paolina, a small ancient village within Perugia, which hosts in its narrow streets and picturesque alleys exhibitions, markets and events of great flavour and charm.

Perugina

There is an ancient brand for which the city has a national primacy: Perugina, which produces the chocolate that finds its apotheosis in the Historical Museum of Perugina. Here you can learn all the secrets of the food of the Gods and, at the end of the journey, enjoy a sublime tasting among the many varieties proposed.

Umbria Jazz

How could we not mention Umbria jazz? The most important musical event dedicated to the genre of international importance is where the greatest jazz musicians in the world gather every July in Perugia in a festival that unfolds and embraces the entire city.
