In Umbria, there is never a dull moment. The recent reopening of Bufalini Castle is intended to be paired with a guided tour inside Citerna, one of the Umbrian villages whose charm and historical importance deserve to be brought to the attention of travelers and residents themselves.
The guided tour of Castello Bufalini aims to enhance this recent reopening as part of the Umbrian museum hub. The state of preservation of this place of delight allows the visitor to relive in its entirety that ideal of noble life that transformed a 15th-century fortress into a stately home.
The tour of Citerna takes place inside a real sighting “castle” between Romagna, Marche and Tuscany, built on two overlapping levels and with an interesting underground system of walkways, paths, vaults and numerous rainwater collection tanks.
Added to this evocative evidence of residential, defensive and functional structures from medieval times is the presence of works of art of great beauty, starting with the famous Madonna of Citerna, which can be counted among Donatello’s earliest known works.
