Perugia Online, tourist guide to the city of Perugia.

IAT - Tourist Welcome and Information Office.

Perugia is one of the most attractive towns in the area of northern Umbria and southern Tuscany both in terms of its ambience and its architecture and should on no account be missed if you are visiting central Italy. Perhaps nowhere else in Italy are the material remains of the Etruscans so clearly evident as in Perugia. The churches and fountain of the main piazza of Perugia are well-known masterpieces, but there are numerous minor churches of great interest, most notably the Tempio di San Michele Arcangelo.

Perugia, the great "Guelf strong-hold" rises up in the region's heart, with its 5 storical quarters closed-in by its Etruscan town walls. These enormous bastions formed by cyclopic square masses, were constructed 22 centuries ago and are still visible for long stretches.
