Overview
We will leave from Piazza Italia to walk to Rocca Paolina, an imposing Renaissance fortress.
Once we have reached the historic center of Perugia, we will be able to take a coffee break with a good espresso or a cup of hot chocolate. We are in the so-called "City of Chocolate"!
The most popular tourist points of interest in the city where you prefer to linger the most. Some of the most characteristic corners are via dell'Acquedotto, one of the most famous streets in the center, or the Arco Augusto, the oldest of all the walls.

Rocca Paolina
Rocca Paolina is a fortress of the city. It was built between 1540 and 1543 at the behest of Pope Paul III and represented, until 1860, the symbol of papal power over the ancient city. The building, designed by Alessandro Tomassoni da Terni and Antonio da Sangallo the Younger, was built on what were the houses of the Baglioni, following their revolt against the pope, and occupied a large part of the southern slope of Perugia.
15 minutesPorta Marzia
The Porta Marzia is one of the ancient gates of the Etruscan walls of the city of Perugia and is located in via Marzia.

The monumental fountain was designed by frà Bevignate da Cingoli and built between 1275 and 1277 to celebrate the arrival of water in the acropolis of the city, thanks to the new aqueduct.
