A confirmation to such hypotheses might come from the analysis of some Greek letters traced with great accuracy in the capitals of the church. <\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The visit to the &#8220;Tempietto,&#8221; moreover, moves as part of a tour that includes some of the most beautiful views of the city.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These include: the church of <strong>San Francesco delle Donne<\/strong> with its famous Umbrian cloth workshop, the Roman mosaic of <strong>Santa Elisabetta<\/strong> in the picturesque<strong>Acquedotto<\/strong> district, <strong>Corso Garibaldi<\/strong> with all its many historical memories, and of course the monumental <strong>Etruscan Arch<\/strong> in front of the<strong>University for Foreigners<\/strong>.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To arrange a guided tour of Perugia with its villages, contact us through the website.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":1881,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categoria-tour":[],"class_list":["post-4093","tour","type-tour","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.guidaturisticainumbria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tour\/4093","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\/1881"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.guidaturisticainumbria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4093"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"categoria-tour","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.guidaturisticainumbria.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categoria-tour?post=4093"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
