Bevagna / Region – Umbria / Province – Perugia (PG) The town, surrounded by a city wall with towers and gates, has an intact medieval structure (12th-13th centuries). In the upper part of the town, numerous Roman remains can still be seen: the ruins of a temple, the theater, and a thermal bath complex, of which a frigidarium with a magnificent black and white floor mosaic depicting marine figures from the 2nd century AD survives. The medieval town structure, with its squares and noble houses, developed over the Romanesque foundations: The magnificent Piazza Silvestri is home to the Palazzo dei Consoli (1270), which houses the Torti Theater, the Romanesque churches of San Silvestro and San Michele Arcangelo, both from the late 12th century, and the church of San Domenico e Giacomo (1291). Worth seeing is the Palazzo Comunale (late 18th century), which houses the historical archives, the library, and the art gallery. The Baroque churches of the Monastery of Santa Margherita and San Filippo are also very interesting. At the highest point in the town stands the Church of San Francesco (late 13th century). Next to the altar, one can see the stone on which St. Francis knelt when he preached to the flock of birds at Pian d'Arca. The 18th-century Palazzo Lepri houses the Museum of Bevagna, with works that tell the story of the town from pre-Roman times to the 18th century: archaeological finds from the ancient city of Mevania, medieval documents, and paintings by Dono Doni, Fantino, and Corrado Giaquinto. In the surrounding area, the Sanctuary of Madonna delle Grazie (late 16th century), the Sanctuary of Madonna della Valle, and the Monastery of Annunziata (11th century), formerly a defensive castle, rise up against the hillsides.

The town lies on a hill, with a central castle and a double concentric circle of houses. The castle of Armenzano has ancient origins, and is worth a short stop

Nice hike, impressive view from the top and the crest of Monte Subasio. It is quite challenging at the beginning! Important to know: if you are planning to hike in summer be aware that along the trail you will be attacked by swarm of horseflies! Cover arms and legs!

The castle is located on a rocky peak, making the construction of a motte unnecessary. The walls are protected by square corner towers. The large keep and the walls date back to the castle's early days. The battlements and machicolations attached to the walls are clearly visible. On the first floor of the palace there is a large ballroom with rich decorations. The inner courtyard is quite small in relation to the entire complex. In the middle of the 15th century, Giacomo Piccinino built a twelve-sided tower to the west of the castle on a wall with a battlement. The last extension took place in 1538. A round bastion was built at the entrance, which could accommodate artillery.

Gualdo Cattaneo is a small medieval village perched on the slopes of the Martani Mountains in a particularly suggestive position.  The first historical information about the town dates back to the time of Emperor Otto II, who founded the castle in 975, entrusting it as a fief to the Germanic count Edoardo Cattaneo. Its perched position was militarily strategic and very often at the center of bitter disputes and domination between Foligno and Spoleto. In the main square of the village stands the mighty fortress from 1494, triangular in shape with three towers communicating with each other. The 13th century parish church is interesting. with a beautiful thirteenth-century crypt inside; the church of Sant'Agostino built in 1136 with frescoes from the Foligno school and the church of Sant'Andrea.

In my opinion, together with Spello, the most beautiful village in the eastern Umbrian Valley

The Castle of Palazzo di Assisi was born in 1385 to defend the city of Assisi. Cambio (or Cagno), a feudal lord of Lombard origins, had this fortified village built with noble towers, his heirs (hence the name 'Castle of the sons of Cambio') later connected the towers with massive walls, those which today constitute the four corners of the quadrilateral village. The fort was thus able to play a role of considerable importance in the continuous wars between Perugia and nearby Assisi, becoming the last defensive bastion opposed to the Perugians before they could move towards Assisi without further obstacles. The castle stands in a once marshy area. Even today you can see the signs of the ancient drawbridge intact, symbol of a rich history of trade that passed through the Palace of Assisi. The lord of the castle "Cambiava" goods and coins, hence the name "Cambio".
