Bevagna has an atmosphere all its own, that of a small town, beautiful and ancient, made alive by its own inhabitants who animate it with many initiatives.
Such as the festival of ancient crafts, the “Mercato delle Gaite,” with truly exceptional historical reenactments that can be visited all year round.
The guided tour inside the city, moreover, is full of surprises.
These include: the beautiful square, overlooked by two of the most beautiful Romanesque churches in the region; Roman mosaics; characteristic glimpses of narrow streets and historic buildings; and, finally, the view of the Clitunno River that runs alongside the medieval walls.
For a quick taste: a half-day in Bevagna.
