Your Itinerary
Spello
Spello combines its medieval features, such as winding alleys and ancient stone houses, with several remains of the Roman era, such as the town walls and the still well-preserved gates, the remains of the theatre, the amphitheatre and of the baths opened along this route.
Villa dei Mosaici
The Villa of Mosaics in Spello, of which almost 500 square metres have been uncovered, is one of the most important archaeological discoveries made in recent years in Umbria.
It offers ten rooms with beautiful mosaic floors that have extraordinary polychrome decorations, such as geometrical elements, human figures, wild and fantastic animals.
The Villa of Mosaics in Spello was discovered in July 2005, just outside Spello’s walls, in the area of St. Anna, during the works for the construction of a public car park.
Admission Included
Carsulae - Parco Archeologico
In this rich and active old center, the remnants of the main public, civil and religious monuments are still visible: the Curia and the Gemini Temples—overlooking the Forum—the Basilica, the Theater and the Amphitheater. The latter is positioned along the Via Flaminia, which constituted the "Cardo Maximus"—main axis, from north to south.
The medieval Church of Santi Cosma e Damiano, built on a pre-existing Roman edifice along the Via Flaminia, testifies to the spreading of Christianity.

The town of Spello has much to offer, unbelievable views, great restaurants, the Baglioni Chapel and truly amazing Roman mosaics. We made it a day trip from Perugia. A visit to Spello is not to be missed.

Spello è un paesino davvero carino e tenuto con grande cura. Mi hanno colpito tutte le chiese, perfettamente restaurate. Scorci bellissimi anche d'inverno, quando mancano i caratteristici e deliziosi vicoli fioriti. Vi consiglio alcuni posti che a me sono piaciuti molto : per mangiare in un posto accogliente e di ottima qualità, l'Osteria al buchetto. Per un ricordo di Spello e un regalo particolare e originale da fare a chi si vuole bene, il negozietto della signora Lidia Guidi ,via Consolare 19, con le sue creazioni fatte a mano. Per delle ceramiche artisiche di pregio dai colori mravigliosi, Baiocco, via Cavour 13, con il tenerissimo dignor Francesco.

se vi trovate a Spello non vi fermate alla pizzeria il grottino, posto assolutamente da evitare, soprattutto per chi viene da Roma ed è abituato alla buonissima pizza alla pala. Vorrebbero imitare la pizza alla pala ma non ci sono riusciti neanche lontanamente, per gli ingredienti per la consistenza della pasta e soprattutto per i prezzi esagerati.
mi raccomando non ci cascate

Borgo molto particolare preparatevi alla salita. E' meraviglioso perdersi nei vicoli. Ogni angolo è un gioiellino, ben tenuto fiori piante e negozi particolari da non perdere

Uno dei più bei borghi umbri. Meno popolare dei soliti Assisi, Gubbio e Orvieto, eppure senza nulla da invidiare ad essi. Consigliatissime le due chiese principali, che contengono bellissime opere di Pinturicchio, uno dei massimi pittori del Rinascimento (la Cappella Baglioni è uno dei capolavori pittorici assoluti dell'arte rinascimentale, probabilmente non nota come meriterebbe), le porte romane, la villa romana con i suoi mosaici e Villa Fidelia con il suo magnifico parco. Una caratteristica di Spello è il poter vantare un connubio tra arte romana, medievale e rinascimentale, il che la rende piuttosto esclusiva.

Ci sono tornato dopo tanti anni, il borgo è molto bello da visitare, belle le infiorate che si incontrano durante la passeggiata.
Visitate le opere del Maestro Ottaviani, fantastici quadri, ma come dici lui "il suo pennello è il filo" capirete il perché dopo averlo visti nella chiesa di San Martino (ingresso gratuito).
Da vedere la porta Venere, e poi ogni vicolo ha il suo fascino.
A soli 10 minuti da Assisi.

Un Borgo Tranquillo, spensierato, pulito, pieno di fiori e architetture storiche. Sembra di essere in un altro mondo. Tutti gentili e rilassati, un sogno. Da visitare.

Spello è un borgo bellissimo, tenuto con cura e dedizione. Si percepisce l'amore dei suoi residenti per questi vicoli meravigliosi.
Tutti i negozi che abbiamo visitato sono stati gentili ed accoglienti.
Bravi Voi tutti
