Todi

Province of Perugia, Umbria Region, Italy

Todi is perched on a tall two-breasted hill overlooking the east bank of the Tiber, with a good view in every direction. Todi is surrounded by three more or less complete concentric walls: the outermost is medieval, the middle wall is Roman, and the innermost is recognizable as partly Etruscan.

History

What to see:

Almost all its main medieval monuments — the cathedral church (Duomo), the Palazzo del Capitano, the Palazzo del Priore, and the Palazzo del Popolo — front on the main square, the piazza which is one of the most picturesque in Italy, often used as a movie set.
on the flank of the hill the domed Renaissance church of Santa Maria della Consolazione, early 16th century, often attributed to Bramante since the central Greek-cross plan with apsidal transepts recalls Bramante's first plans for St Peter's.
The church of San Fortunato, with the crypt where Franciscan poet Jacopone da Todi is buried.
The Nicchioni a huge Roman niched substructure of uncertain purpose, the ruins of a Roman amphitheatre
the Renaissance palazzo Vignola.
