Spoleto's Historic Ruins

Spoleto’s archaeological landscape spans from the Roman era to the early Middle Ages. The collection includes the 1st-century Roman amphitheater and the Arco di Druso e Germanico, which served as a ceremonial entrance to the ancient forum. The UNESCO-listed Basilica of San Salvatore and the nearby Tempietto del Clitunno represent rare Langobardic architecture. Overlooking the city, the 14th-century Rocca Albornoziana fortress sits atop Sant'Elia hill, while underground discoveries like the Ponte Sanguinario and the mosaic-floored Casa Romana reveal the city's ancient domestic and civic infrastructure.
