Spoleto is one of Umbria's cities richest in history, with evidence dating from the Roman era — the Arch of Drusus, the Roman theatre — to the Lombard Duchy, of which it was the capital, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site along with other sites on the “Longobards in Italy” route.
The symbol of the city is the Ponte delle Torri, an imposing medieval bridge-aqueduct that spans the gorge of the Tessino stream, with a spectacular view of the Rocca Albornoziana, the 14th-century fortress that dominates the historic centre. Don't miss the Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, with its Romanesque façade and interior frescoes.
Every summer Spoleto returns to the centre of the international cultural scene with the Festival dei Due Mondi, a historic festival of music, theatre and dance founded in 1958. A compact historic centre, ideal for exploring on foot in half a day, just 20 minutes from the farm stay.
