Hidden Gems of Umbria

Umbria’s landscape is defined by its deep spiritual history and Roman engineering. This collection features the man-made Cascata delle Marmore, created by Romans to divert the Velino River, and the 1st-century Bridge of Augustus in Narni. Spiritual sites include the Franciscan Sacro Convento and the Eremo delle Carceri on Monte Subasio, alongside the Benedictine Sassovivo Abbey. In Spoleto, the list highlights subterranean history with a 1st-century Roman house and the Ponte Sanguinario, an ancient bridge preserved beneath modern street level.
