It was an important Roman colony and later capital of the Longobard Duchy.

We’ll come to the bridge called Ponte delle Torri (bridge of the towers), the symbol of Spoleto and one of the city’s panoramic points. It was originally an aqueduct, first built by the Romans then rebuilt in the 12th century to ensure a reliable water supply to Spoleto. For more than 50 years, Spoleto has been known worldwide for hosting the Festival of the Two Worlds, featuring artists from all over the world in concerts, dance and various exhibitions. 11 DAYS FROM $ 3795 Rome (3 NIGHTS) Assisi (3) Siena (3) ALSO VISITING: Spoleto, Gubbio, Lake Trasimeno, Maggiore Island, Perugia, Lucignano, Siena, San Gimignano = Full Breakfast = Lunch = Dinner • BOOK YOUR TOUR NOW: PerilloTours.com • 1-800-431-1515 • Or See Your Professional Travel Advisor YOUR FIRST-CLASS & DELUXE, CENTRALLY-LOCATED HOTELS: NOTE: If a change in hotels becomes necessary for any reason, the hotel substituted will be equivalent of those shown.
