Layer upon layer of civilizations and past empires are
stacked and impacted into every meter of this religious and political
capital, ramrod exclamation point for one of the world's greatest
cultures, past or present. You can begin with the churches, the
coliseums, the Roman forums, or hundreds of museums, but it's likely
you'll have many reasons to come back, if only to survey the latest
discoveries within the eternal city.
region name: Latium
A tranquil medieval hilltown, Todi gives you a sense of
security and safe superiority, whether you are strolling Todi's popular
Piazza del Popolo between high stairways and church turrets or whether
you are surveying the panorama from any serene spot above city walls.
Don't miss a visit to Todi's thoroughly solid looking Church of San
Fortunato, in Gothic barn-church style.
