What makes Perugia Private Walking Tour a unique experience ?
Rocca Paolina is a fortress of the city. It was built between 1540 and 1543 at the behest of Pope Paul III and represented, until 1860, the symbol of papal power over the ancient city. The building, designed by Alessandro Tomassoni da Terni and Antonio da Sangallo the Younger, was built on what were the houses of the Baglioni, following their revolt against the pope, and occupied a large part of the southern slope of Perugia.
The Porta Marzia is one of the ancient gates of the Etruscan walls of the city of Perugia and is located in via Marzia.
The monumental fountain was designed by frà Bevignate da Cingoli and built between 1275 and 1277 to celebrate the arrival of water in the acropolis of the city, thanks to the new aqueduct. Bevignate, was able to count on the collaboration of other talented people, such as Boninsegna Veneziano, a hydraulic engineer, who carried out a feat of extraordinary daring, managing to convey the waters coming from Mount Pacciano, located a few kilometers away, [1] without the aid of pumps
