Tips from the Community
Detouring a few kilometers from the Assisi-Spoleto cycle path, you can visit the village of Trevi, perched on a hill surrounded by olive trees! The climb isn't easy, but it's worth it for the sweeping views and the truly picturesque village. It still retains architectural elements of the old Jewish quarter, fabulous 🚴😍👍

Bevagna / Region – Umbria / Province – Perugia (PG) The town, surrounded by a city wall with towers and gates, has an intact medieval structure (12th-13th centuries). In the upper part of the town, numerous Roman remains can still be seen: the ruins of a temple, the theater, and a thermal bath complex, of which a frigidarium with a magnificent black and white floor mosaic depicting marine figures from the 2nd century AD survives. The medieval town structure, with its squares and noble houses, developed over the Romanesque foundations: The magnificent Piazza Silvestri is home to the Palazzo dei Consoli (1270), which houses the Torti Theater, the Romanesque churches of San Silvestro and San Michele Arcangelo, both from the late 12th century, and the church of San Domenico e Giacomo (1291). Worth seeing is the Palazzo Comunale (late 18th century), which houses the historical archives, the library, and the art gallery. The Baroque churches of the Monastery of Santa Margherita and San Filippo are also very interesting. At the highest point in the town stands the Church of San Francesco (late 13th century). Next to the altar, one can see the stone on which St. Francis knelt when he preached to the flock of birds at Pian d'Arca. The 18th-century Palazzo Lepri houses the Museum of Bevagna, with works that tell the story of the town from pre-Roman times to the 18th century: archaeological finds from the ancient city of Mevania, medieval documents, and paintings by Dono Doni, Fantino, and Corrado Giaquinto. In the surrounding area, the Sanctuary of Madonna delle Grazie (late 16th century), the Sanctuary of Madonna della Valle, and the Monastery of Annunziata (11th century), formerly a defensive castle, rise up against the hillsides.

A populous hamlet of the municipality of Collazone, it is a medieval village that stands on a hill overlooking the Tiber Valley, while most of the houses are located on the plain, up to the edge of the Tiber River.

Particularly charming in the medieval village of Bevagna is the old washhouse and the masonry bridge over the river Topino. When the sky is blue and the water is stagnant, the green algae on the surface of the water are particularly photogenic on sunny summer days.

Just outside the walls, near the Porta dei Molini, is a small artificial lake formed by the damming of the Clitunno River, which overlooks the town washhouse. A small waterfall flows from the lake, powering the blades of the nearby mill.

In my opinion, together with Spello, the most beautiful village in the eastern Umbrian Valley
