GUALDO CATTANEO

A charming old medieval town, rich in remains of the past. The dominant ‘Rocca’, is a fortress designed and built in the fifteenth centuary on a triangular plan with a central tower and sides communicating with each other through a system of underground tunnels. It is also known as ‘Rock Sound’ where sounds, voices and noises echoed inside from the time of its erection until abandonment. More widely in the commune of Gualdo Cattaneo there are several castles, including Saragano Castle (originally Suragano) near Il Torrione, which takes its name from the Roman consul Lucius Lucinio Sura who spent his summer holidays there.

TODI

Is a town rich in history, with three circles of walls (from Umbrian-Roman, Roman Imperial and medieval era) and imposing city gates. In the heart of the town, Piazza del Popolo meets at a glance some of the main public monuments (Palazzo dei Priori, the Palazzo del Capitano, the Palazzo del Popolo and the Annunciation Cathedral in Romanesque-Gothic style) and many religious buildings, among which the Temple of Our Lady of Consolation, a magnificent Renaissance church built perhaps on the project of Bramante;
