Bevagna / Region – Umbria / Province – Perugia (PG) The town, surrounded by a city wall with towers and gates, has an intact medieval structure (12th-13th centuries). In the upper part of the town, numerous Roman remains can still be seen: the ruins of a temple, the theater, and a thermal bath complex, of which a frigidarium with a magnificent black and white floor mosaic depicting marine figures from the 2nd century AD survives. The medieval town structure, with its squares and noble houses, developed over the Romanesque foundations: The magnificent Piazza Silvestri is home to the Palazzo dei Consoli (1270), which houses the Torti Theater, the Romanesque churches of San Silvestro and San Michele Arcangelo, both from the late 12th century, and the church of San Domenico e Giacomo (1291). Worth seeing is the Palazzo Comunale (late 18th century), which houses the historical archives, the library, and the art gallery. The Baroque churches of the Monastery of Santa Margherita and San Filippo are also very interesting. At the highest point in the town stands the Church of San Francesco (late 13th century). Next to the altar, one can see the stone on which St. Francis knelt when he preached to the flock of birds at Pian d'Arca. The 18th-century Palazzo Lepri houses the Museum of Bevagna, with works that tell the story of the town from pre-Roman times to the 18th century: archaeological finds from the ancient city of Mevania, medieval documents, and paintings by Dono Doni, Fantino, and Corrado Giaquinto. In the surrounding area, the Sanctuary of Madonna delle Grazie (late 16th century), the Sanctuary of Madonna della Valle, and the Monastery of Annunziata (11th century), formerly a defensive castle, rise up against the hillsides.

Gualdo Cattaneo is a small medieval village perched on the slopes of the Martani Mountains in a particularly suggestive position.  The first historical information about the town dates back to the time of Emperor Otto II, who founded the castle in 975, entrusting it as a fief to the Germanic count Edoardo Cattaneo. Its perched position was militarily strategic and very often at the center of bitter disputes and domination between Foligno and Spoleto. In the main square of the village stands the mighty fortress from 1494, triangular in shape with three towers communicating with each other. The 13th century parish church is interesting. with a beautiful thirteenth-century crypt inside; the church of Sant'Agostino built in 1136 with frescoes from the Foligno school and the church of Sant'Andrea.

In my opinion, together with Spello, the most beautiful village in the eastern Umbrian Valley

Beautiful city with ancient origins.

Castle of medieval origin with towers and walls in excellent condition Here in the 11th century a viscount normally resided with administrative powers over the territory which included numerous castles, some of which are still inhabited and others partially in ruins. Together with Colle del Marchese it was part of a territory called "Normandy", a small autonomous province within the territories of the Church. Towards the end of the 12th century the Castle was destroyed due to the wars that saw imperial and papal power pitted against each other, but at the beginning of the 13th century it was entirely rebuilt. In the second half of the 14th century, the Castle was equipped with strong walls, those that still remain almost intact, with external towers, loopholes and bomb holes.

Gualdo Cattaneo, a picturesque Umbrian village that stands on a rock, offers astonishing views of vineyards, olive groves and the majestic Sibillini mountains. Located between the Umbrian and Tiber valleys, on the foothills of the Martani mountains, this village has roots that date back to 975. The Sonoran fortress is its most significant monument. The church of Saints Anthony and Antoninus, dating back to 1260, houses the relics of the two holy martyrs and of Blessed Ugolino in its crypt. The church of Sant'Agostino, founded in 1136, originally Benedictine, features a notable crucifix from 1482. Despite the steep but short climbs, a visit to this village is absolutely unmissable.
