The Eugubine Tables are displayed in the civic museum, namely seven bronze plates inscribed in the original Umbrian language which pertain to ancient religious rituals. You can also explore the Palazzo Ducale and have an adventure at the quirky \u2018Fontana dei Matti\u2019 (literally meaning the \u2018Fountain of the Madmen\u2019). By running three laps around the fountain in the presence of a local resident and subsequently being \u2018baptised\u2019 by its water, you will earn the right to be granted the honorary title of \u2018Madman of Gubbio\u2019 or \u2018<em>Matto onorario di Gubbio\u2019<\/em>. You can learn about the skills of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.umbriatourism.it\/en\/-\/the-ceramics-of-gubbio\">ceramic master potters<\/a> by entering into one of the many workshops dotted throughout the town. Afterwards, exit the city walls and check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/structures\/castello-di-magrano\/\"><strong>Castello di Magrano<\/strong><\/a>, a fortress built in the 13th century to defend Gubbio that has been renovated into a country <em>relais<\/em>, featuring twelve guest rooms and an apartment.<br \/>\nThis location serves as an excellent base for day trips to both Assisi and the border between the Marche and Umbria regions between Fabriano and Fossato di Vico. The next destination on our agenda is Assisi, the homeland of Saint Francis. A tour of both the Upper and Lower Basilicas is indispensable; the saint&#8217;s body has been laid to rest in the latter, and it is here that the foundations of European painting truly began, with masterpieces by artists such as Cimabue, Pietro Cavallini, Giotto and Pietro Lorenzetti. We also recommend you take a 2-kilometre detour to see the Villa di Sant&#8217;Angelo in Panzo. Originally established as a Benedictine convent in the 10th century, it was later converted into a patrician house and then a rural residence, becoming the inaugural convent of Santa Chiara, where, according to ancient records, she is said to have performed her first miracle. Today, the Villa operates as an agricultural estate, producing organic extra virgin olive oil. Continuing along State Road 75, you will then arrive at Capitan Loreto, where there\u2019s a unique structure called <a href=\"https:\/\/chiesatonda.it\/\">La Chiesa Tonda<\/a> (\u2018the Round Church\u2019), a former convent repurposed for private events and ceremonies. Our journey then takes you to Spello, best known for its annual <a href=\"https:\/\/www.infioratespello.it\/\">Infiorate<\/a> floral festival, dedicated to creating carpets of flower petals along the streets. Additionally, Spello is home to the wonderful Baglioni Chapel in the Collegiate Church of Santa Maria Maggiore, which is adorned with the glorious cycle of frescoes painted by Pinturicchio. Last but not least, do not miss the amazing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.villadeimosaicidispello.it\/en\">Villa of Mosaics<\/a>, a recent archaeological discovery displaying around twenty rooms from the Roman era, distinguished by their restored mosaic floors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After visiting the areas in and around Perugia, let\u2019s now turn our attention to the [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":28008,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[564,501],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28026","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-territories","category-umbria-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Umbria - Journeying from Perugia to Terni | Dimore Storiche Italiane<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/journeying-from-perugia-to-terni\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Umbria - Journeying from Perugia to Terni | Dimore Storiche Italiane\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"After visiting the areas in and around Perugia, let\u2019s now turn our attention to the [&hellip;]\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/journeying-from-perugia-to-terni\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Dimore Storiche Italiane\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-10-29T19:44:23+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-01-10T15:19:36+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Gubbio-8.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"933\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Alessandro D&#039;Agostino\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Alessandro D&#039;Agostino\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/journeying-from-perugia-to-terni\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/journeying-from-perugia-to-terni\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Alessandro D'Agostino\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.dimorestoricheitaliane.it\/en\/#\/schema\/person\/44c5fbb58a9ff02a18beac7215decfd7\"},\"headline\":\"Umbria &#8211;
