Bevagna
A small town on the plain with a Roman mosaic bath and medieval squares. In June, its market festival brings medieval crafts back to life.
Bevagna was a post-station town on the ancient Via Flaminia. It is surrounded by walls, sits on flat terrain and is best enjoyed at a leisurely pace. Around Piazza Silvestri stand two 12th-century Romanesque churches and the Palazzo dei Consoli. The Roman baths retain black-and-white mosaic floors with marine-life motifs. Every late June, the Mercato delle Gaite takes place. Residents dress in medieval costume and recreate workshops for papermaking, candlemaking, silk and more, so the whole town seems to travel back in time. Bevagna is about 35 km from Perugia and can be combined with a day trip to Montefalco.
