3. Spoleto
in Brief
| Spoleto
has very antique Umbrian origins from architectural,
agricultural and artistic points of view. Spoleto was a Latin
colony that transformed itself into a Roman community, which
explains its diverse architecture. Life in Spoleto flourished,
and many splendid monuments were built. At the end of the
sixth century, Spoleto became the home of one of the most
important Dukes of Longobard.

The ancient bridge (Ponte
delle Torri) leads the way to the towering Fortress ( The
Rocca Albornoziana ) that is currently under renovation to become
Spoleto’s first historical museum. Remains of the inside and outside
city walls can still be seen, of both the Umbrian polygonal, and the
Medieval Roman type.
Medieval and modern monuments join together and amalgamate with Romans
monuments.
These and other buildings, churches, arches,
and towers can be admired today by visitors who are interested in
historical buildings and art.
Travelers go out of their way to see Spoleto’s quaint streets,
climb the moss covered stone stairs to the beautiful cathedral (Duomo),
and to gaze over one of the most beautiful squares in Italy where
performing the Spoleto
Festival .
