Easy hikes and walks in Monti Serano - Brunette (Sommità)

Trevi's historic center retains the charm of its medieval alleys, narrow and winding, weaving between stone houses and ancient buildings. These streets were designed not only to connect squares and gates, but also to defend the city, creating sheltered and safe routes. The houses feature small doorways and windows, while stairways and arches connect different levels, following the hilly terrain. Walking through the alleys, you'll experience a secluded atmosphere, filled with unexpected glimpses and silhouettes of rooftops and bell towers. Every corner tells stories of daily life, shops, markets, and medieval traditions, making the village a true journey into the past.

Inside Trevi Cathedral is an elegant 16th-century altar, with harmonious and sober forms typical of the Renaissance. At its center is a panel attributed to Francesco Melanzio, an Umbrian painter known for his delicate and luminous painting. The altar introduces a more modern style compared to the medieval parts of the church, marking the transition from Gothic to Renaissance style. Overall, it represents a clear testimony to how the Cathedral encompasses centuries of history and art, preserving traces of every era.

The apses of Trevi Cathedral (Church of Sant'Emiliano) date back to the Romanesque period, dating back to the 12th century. They constitute the oldest part of the building and belong to the medieval church prior to subsequent transformations. Their massive stone structure, with simple, well-defined volumes, fully reflects the Umbrian Romanesque style, characterized by solidity and sobriety. The apses therefore testify to Trevi's importance even in the Middle Ages and represent a precious trace of the historical continuity of the Cathedral, which has been expanded and remodeled over the centuries, especially in the upper and interior sections.

Porta Nuova was built between the late 13th and 14th centuries, at a time when Trevi expanded its city walls to include new residential areas and better control access. Unlike older gates, it was therefore designed as an "expansion gate," linked to the city's growth. Interestingly, despite its defensive function, it was primarily a daily transit point for farmers and merchants heading to the village. Precisely for this reason, its architecture is simple and functional, more practical than monumental.

Stunning views of Trevi and the Umbrian Valley from the adjacent hills.

A beautiful villa near the historic center of Trevi. It dates back to the 16th century. It is very well preserved, although it lacks its period furnishings. It currently hosts a contemporary art exhibition. It is surrounded by gardens, and the south-facing side, in particular, offers spectacular views of the Umbrian Valley. It is free to visit.

The city of olive trees, a beautiful village that is worth a visit.
