A city of art truly to be discovered. <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Oratory of the Nunziatella<\/strong> with frescoes by Perugino.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Piazza della Repubblica<\/strong> with the old town hall, the <strong>Cathedral<\/strong>, the Canoniche Palace and Palazzo Trinci.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cathedral from the Romanesque of Ridolfo and Binello to the Neoclassical of Piermarini.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Palazzo Trinci, an aristocratic residence and the art of Gentile da Fabriano.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Church of Santa Maria Infraportas, painting between the Middle Ages and the early Renaissance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Monastery of St. Anne or of the Countesses, a spiritual experience in medieval Foligno.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To continue, 6 km from Foligno, is the<strong>Abbey of Sassovivo<\/strong>, built in the second half of the 11th century. It has a beautiful Romanesque cloister composed of 128 twin or spiral columns and is decorated with colored marbles and mosaics made in <strong>Rome<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the months of June and September, the city of Foligno comes alive during the Giostra della Quintana: the exciting challenge between the city&#8217;s districts is accompanied by a series of truly important events.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The historical procession, in particular, is a source of great pride for the city, with precious clothes capable of evoking the grandiose pageantry of the Baroque.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The opening of the Taverns, on the other hand, is an excellent opportunity to taste the typical dishes of a region famous for its cuisine. A real invitation to discover Umbria starting with its oldest traditions. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3213,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categoria-tour":[165],"class_list":["post-4054","tour","type-tour","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","categoria-tour-guided-tours-in-the-umbrian-valley"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.guidaturisticainumbria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tour\/4054","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.guidaturisticainumbria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tour"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.guidaturisticainumbria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/tour"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.guidaturisticainumbria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3213"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.guidaturisticainumbria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4054"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categoria-tour","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.guidaturisticainumbria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categoria-tour?post=4054"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
