Private Perugia Walking Tour with official guide

Perugia, the regional capital, is an ancient city located in central-northern Umbria. The historic center is built on the high hills along the right bank of the Tiber River

The Rocca Paolina, or Paolina Fortress, is right in the historical centre of Perugia and one can enter via a door at Porta Marzia or the escalator system that connects Piazza Italia with Piazza Partigiani.

Porta Marzia is an ancient Etruscan gate dating back to the 3rd century BC, once the main southern entrance to the city, now incorporated into the walls of the Rocca Paolina as a remarkable example of preserved classical architecture.

Corso Vannucci is the main street of Perugia, a lively pedestrian avenue lined with historic buildings, shops, and cafés, connecting the city’s main squares and offering stunning views over the Umbrian valley.

The upper marble basin has twelve sides divided into twenty-four smooth panels of pink Assisi stone. Each one is separated by an equal number of white Carrara marble statuettes set on ledges between the panels. Some of the figures represent personages from the history of the city and legends, while others are symbolic.

The Cathedral of St. Lawrence is located in the historical centre of Perugia on Piazza IV Novembre, its southern façade facing the square.
