Umbria

This collection highlights the architectural and historical layers of Umbria, from the Roman Empire to medieval religious expansion. In Assisi, the UNESCO-listed Basilica of Saint Francis and the adjacent Sacro Convento represent the pinnacle of 13th-century Gothic and Romanesque design. In Spoleto, the 1st-century Arco di Druso e Germanico and the Roman amphitheater showcase the region's importance as the ancient colony of Spoletium, while Assisi’s Domus del Lararium offers a rare glimpse into private Roman life through preserved mosaics and frescoes.
