Umbria enjoys a scenery that is every bit as breathtaking as that of Tuscany, but softer and more pastoral. Hundreds of rivers and a handful of lakes irrigate fertile valleys flanked by forested hillsides and mountains reaching above 2,000 metres/6,500 feet.
Vestiges of the Etruscan and Roman eras are plentiful in the form of ancient hill towns and spectacular ruined settlements.
Prosperity in the Middle Ages and Renaissance periods gave rise to the many fortified castles that dominate the region’s skyline, to the magnificent architecture of Spoleto and Perugia, and to the splendid basilica at Assisi which celebrates the life of the extraordinary St. Francis.
