Musei del Castello di Alviano

Reviewed By caridadisabel - Amelia, Italy

If you’re traveling between Rome and Orvieto, I suggest you make a stop at Alviano and it’s sweet little castle. The guided tour, included in the entrance price is interesting and insightful into the local history and culture. Exit Attigliano off the A1 highway and drive up the hill.

Reviewed By EmilioG496 - Rome, Italy

A wide square with a wonderful view on the valley. On the other side there is the green mountain. But the best is the "Palazzo dei Consoli". The building was a example of medieval architectural with a lot of stairs and some secret passages, The Museum exhibition has a lot of paintings from 15° and 16° century. Furthermore there are seven rare tables (Tavole eugubine) written in part with an old language more ancient than latin and part with "Etruscan language" engraved one century b.C.

Museo Civico Rocca Flea

Dal 1999 la Rocca Flea è sede del Museo Civico. Il suo nome, derivato dal vicino fiume Flebeo, poi chiamato Feo, compare già in documenti del XII secolo. Con il succedersi delle diverse dominazioni imposte alla città, vi si insediarono dapprima le milizie di Federico Barbarossa, poi quelle del papa e nel 1208 quelle della guelfa Perugia. Danneggiata dai molti conflitti, venne restaurata da Federico II intorno al 1242. Nel XVI secolo divenne la residenza dei legati pontifici, mentre nel 1888 la Rocca diventa sede carceraria. Riportata al suo precedente aspetto grazie a recenti restauri la fortezza è diventata dal 1999 sede del museo civico. Il Polo Museale Città di Gualdo Tadino rappresenta un circuito culturale di facile fruizione per le scuole di ogni ordine e grado. Le attività e le tematiche affrontate sono diversificate a seconda dell’ordine scolastico e dell’età degli studenti.
