Perugia, Umbria‘s main town, is old and majestic.Its shape is singular and unique: a trefoil contains the upper town on the hill, which was the Etruscan and roman acropolis, from which tentacles of mediaeval suburbs descend down the slopes. The historic centre facing the luminous countryside is rich in architectural and artistic masterpieces, which blend harmoniously into the urban construction of thousands of years of history.Two Universities, numerous displays and shows of international renown, some of Italy‘s richest museums, make it a cosmopolitan centre of extraordinary tourist interest.
