What's included

Itinerary

1. 1

   Porta Consolare

   10min

   Main Roman gate of the city that preserves intact the original paving. The city was considered a splendid colony, faithful to Emperor Augustus. That is why it was completed with a walled enclosure that remains intact and that gives the characteristic pink color to the city.

2. 2

   Infiorate di Spello

   15min

   Spello’s “Infiorata” party is a good reason to deck windows and balconies with plants. On the facades are exposed the tiles with the awards of each year.

3. 3

   Cappella Baglioni

   50min

   An immersive experience in a fairy tale made on the walls of this chapel by the “little painter” named Pinturicchio. Childhood stories of Jesus, witches and hangmen. What's the relationship between them?

4. 4

   Chiesa di Sant'Andrea

   25min

   Here hides another of the treasures of the great master Pinturicchio with a busy Saint John Child writing a letter. Guess who?

5. 5

   Torri di Properzio e Porta Venere

   20min

   We finish our tour with magnificent views of the countryside and the towers of another of the gates of the wall. Do you know that there was a temple nearby dedicated (perhaps) to the goddess of Beauty?
