What to do and see in Perugia, Umbria: The Best Historic Sites

October 25, 2021 Kaleigh Reichenbach

This picturesque Umbrian city has a history that spans many eras. The city wall and arch are Etruscan; the sixth-century Sant'Angelo church was built atop a Roman temple; the town's cathedral is both Gothic and Renaissance. If you have a sweet tooth, visit the famous Perugina chocolate factory; if you have a full set of sweet teeth, visit during the Eurochocolate festival, held in October, when the entire town reportedly smells of chocolate.

Very rich decoration - for sure worth a visit with some explanation. History meets religion. Especially the ceiling is well-done> Impressive historic large painting.

Arco Etrusco

Reviewed By antoniofU1702OZ - Perugia, Italy

A massive ancient arch leading up to the very center of the city, a beautiful sight and a must-see when you are in Perugia. The Etruscans and Romans knew what they were doing.
