Tips

MÄXI´S GENUSSTOUREN 🇦🇹

September 28, 2022

The Rocca Paolina was a Renaissance fortress in Perugia, built between 1540 and 1543 for Pope Paul III. It was built according to designs by Antonio da Sangallo the Younger.
A mysterious series of tunnels gives a premature glimpse of Perugia's nooks and crannies. The jumble of cobbled streets and arched stairwells is essentially all that remains of a once-imposing fortress.

Today these arched foundations are part of a popular route that takes visitors from Piazza Partigiani into the city. Riding through the walls on the many escalators (scale mobili) is a typical urban experience. It feels like entering a lost world, with secret doors that reveal one shop or another for art exhibitions.

On 18 June 1983 the ribbon was cut on the first escalators in Perugia, which from Piazza Partigiani came out under the Palazzo della Provincia in Piazza Italia, in the heart of the acropolis. Crossing the underground streets of the Rocca Paolina.
