Spoleto is a breathtakingly beautiful ancient city in the Italian province of Perugia, which is nestled comfortably along the foothills of the Apennines. This alluring destination provides travelers with an incredible mix of remnants from its Roman, medieval and Bronze Age heritage. Once a sleepy Umbrian hill town, Spoleto sprung to life after the first Festival dui due Mondi was held there in 1958. Today, the festival, known simply as the Spoleto Festival, combines theater, dance, music, spoken word and other forms of art together to create one of the largest celebrations of its kind in the world. Outside of festival season, this city boasts an exciting array of museums, ruins, restaurants and winding streets that will be able to keep you busy for days!

Exploring Spoleto with a Rental Car
Present day Spoleto is divided into two levels; the Lower Town, which has been extensively rebuilt after World War II, and the well-preserved medieval Upper Town, containing the majority of the city's sacred and historic landmarks. Among the list of these excellent historical sites are the first century Roman amphitheater, the 12th century Duomo, 13th century Ponte delle Torri, otherwise known as the Bridge of Towers and the Rocca Albornoziana, a 14th century hilltop fortress. Dining options in the city are almost as diverse as its historic sites. From traditional Umbrian sausages to savory Scottish salmon and Argentinean Angus beef, there is something on offer to tantalize every taste bud.
