Todi
A hilltop old town above the Tiber Valley. Its Piazza del Popolo is considered one of the most beautiful medieval squares in Italy.
Todi sits on a hill above the Tiber Valley, and its three rings of walls date from the Etruscan, Roman and medieval periods. At the heart of the town, Piazza del Popolo is surrounded by the Palazzo del Popolo, the Palazzo del Capitano, the Palazzo dei Priori and the cathedral. Its harmonious proportions make it one of the most admired medieval squares in Italy. Outside the town, at the foot of the hill, stands the Church of Santa Maria della Consolazione, a masterpiece of centralized-plan Renaissance church design that is said to have been influenced by Bramante. Todi is about 45 km from Perugia, roughly 40 minutes by car, and buses also run there.
