What you can expect
Begin your journey in the lively Piazza Matteotti, the vibrant heart of the city. Surrounded by elegant historic buildings and inviting cafés, this square offers the perfect introduction to Città di Castello. Admire the imposing Palazzo del Podestà, whose stone façade and medieval towers tell the storey of centuries of civic power while setting the stage for the city's remarkable architectural heritage.
Continue to the spacious Piazza Gabriotti, the city's historic civic centre. Here, discover the magnificent Palazzo dei Priori (Town Hall), a symbol of local government for generations. Framed by noble palaces and picturesque medieval towers, the square captures the refined atmosphere that makes this Umbrian town so unique.
Just a few steps away stands the magnificent Cathedral of Saints Florido and Amanzio, one of the city's artistic treasures. Its elegant stone façade leads to a richly decorated interior featuring colourful marble altars, peaceful side chapels, and remarkable Renaissance artworks. Among its highlights is the dramatic fresco “The Conversion of Saint Paul” by Pomarancio, an impressive masterpiece that reflects the city's rich artistic heritage.
Behind the cathedral, wander into one of the most photogenic corners of the historic centre. Here, the distinctive round bell tower rises above the rooftops, creating one of Città di Castello's most recognisable landmarks. Its unique cylindrical shape and medieval surroundings offer an authentic glimpse into the city's timeless character.
Your walk continues through charming narrow streets until reaching the Church of Saint Domenico. Although your visit remains outside, your guide will reveal the fascinating storey of Raphael's famous “Crucifixion,” originally created for this church and now displayed at London's National Gallery, highlighting the important role Città di Castello played during the Italian Renaissance.
The experience concludes along Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, the elegant high street crossing the historic centre. As you stroll past artisan workshops, historic palaces, hidden alleys, and lively squares, discover the authentic rhythm of local life while taking in unforgettable views of medieval towers and terracotta rooftops.
