The historic center of Bevagna is unmissable for the historic buildings it contains. But what makes the difference is the medieval atmosphere that you can breathe.

The Roman Theater of Spoleto is one of the most important Roman monuments in the city and represents a significant testimony to the cultural life of ancient Spoletium. It was built in the 1st century BC, in an area near the forum, according to the architectural models of classical Roman theater. The cavea, built against the natural slope of Sant'Elia Hill, was divided into sectors and could accommodate several thousand spectators. Opposite were the orchestra and the monumental stage, originally decorated with columns, niches, and statues, which served as a backdrop for theatrical and musical performances. The building was constructed of masonry and clad in local stone, with technical solutions that ensured good acoustics. After the end of the Roman era, the theater was gradually abandoned and was partially incorporated into medieval buildings. The area was restored in the 20th century, restoring the structure's visibility and highlighting its archaeological importance. Today, the Roman Theatre is part of the National Archaeological Museum of Spoleto and continues to serve a cultural purpose, hosting events and performances that renew the city's connection to its thousand-year-old theatrical tradition.

Detouring a few kilometers from the Assisi-Spoleto cycle path, you can visit the village of Trevi, perched on a hill surrounded by olive trees! The climb isn't easy, but it's worth it for the sweeping views and the truly picturesque village. It still retains architectural elements of the old Jewish quarter, fabulous 🚴😍👍

Even under a grey sky, the outing filled my eyes with its beautiful varied landscapes (hilltop towns, fortified castles, abbeys, towers, vineyards, sunflower fields, yew trees, etc.) And above all, a cycle path away from vehicles!

The village of San Giacomo is suggestive, both simply passing by on the road and stopping to see the Church or the Castle. Worth it.

Chiesa di San Filippo Neri, Spoleto The beautiful Church of San Filippo Neri stands near Piazza Mentana and was built starting in 1640 by two wealthy citizens of Spoleto who lived in Rome: Ugo Alberici and Loreto Vittori. The design of the building was entrusted to Loreto Scelli and was finally completed in 1671 with the construction of the dome. It was not consecrated until 1724. The Church of San Filippo Neri in Spoleto has the forms and architectural features of 17th-century Roman churches, with an elegant travertine façade decorated with pilasters and a beautiful tympanum. The interior is divided into three naves separated by pillars and a large transept surmounted by the dome. Inside the sacristy is a marble bust of Saint Philip Neri, a work by the sculptor Alessandro Algardi (1650). The side chapels contain altars from the 17th and 18th centuries, while the walls are decorated with 18th-century paintings by artists such as Gaetano Lapis, Sebastiano Conca, Pietro Labruzzi, and the Spoleto painter Francesco Refini.
