See

## Worth seeing

1. Rocca Paolina It was a Renaissance fortress, built in 1540-1543 for pope Paul III to designs by Antonio da Sangallo the Younger.
2. Porta Marzia This is an Etruscan city gate built in the 3rd century BC and much later incorporated into the city walls.
3. Fontana Maggiore This large medieval fountain is found between the cathedral and the Palazzo dei Priori.
4. Perugia Cathedral This has an unusual layout for Italian churches in that the side rather than the front entrance faces the main square.
5. Palazzo dei Priori This is a large building in Italian Gothic style built in the early 1300s.
6. Etruscan Well Damp and dark but an excellent way of appreciating the skills of 3rd-century BC Etruscan architects.

Do

## Things to do

Just walking around. There is probably no city in the world that better rewards the casual explorer in the sheer variety of its streetscapes. You can stroll along a Roman aqueduct that connects two of the city's hills, passing doors on the third stories of homes to peer over the edge at the doors at street level below.

1. Museo-Laboratorio di tessitura a mano Giuditta Brozzetti Traditional hand-weaving workshop with 19th-century looms in a 13th-century Franciscan monastery.

Eat

## Where to eat

For most tourists, the center, or downtown, of Perugia will be the most rewarding place to eat either lunch or dinner. The main street 'walk' begins at the Piazza Duomo at the Fontana Maggiore and ends with a dramatic view that showcases the city's churches and the Umbrian countryside. There are many dining options along this street.
