Spoleto

Spoleto is a stunning Umbrian town which, in the medieval period had a very important role, as it was in fact the capital of the Lombard Empire. In the upper part of the town there is an ancient Roman theater dating back to the 1st century AD, the Arco de Druco from 23 AD, the church of Sant’Ansano and a temple from the Roman period. The lovely Romanesque cathedral from the 12th century must be seen as inside there are works by Filippo Lippi and Pinturicchio. In July the ‘Festival dei due Mondi’ is hosted with music, art and culture.
