Nestled in the verdant heart of Umbria, bordering the rolling landscapes of Tuscany, lies Città della Pieve, a hidden gem that offers a vibrant tapestry of art, history, and culture waiting to be discovered by families of all sizes. This charming town, rich in medieval architecture and winding cobblestone streets, invites you and your loved ones to embark on an enchanting journey through time.
As you enter Città della Pieve, you are greeted by the warm hues of its historic buildings, painted in the unique “Pieve Red” that captures the essence of the town’s spirit. The town is not just a feast for the eyes but a haven for families seeking an immersive cultural experience that caters to both adults and children.
From the breathtaking frescoes by the Renaissance master Perugino to the lively festivals that fill the streets with music and laughter, Città della Pieve offers endless opportunities for exploration and fun.
Città della Pieve is more than a destination; it’s a journey into the heart of Italian tradition, where every corner tells a story, and every experience brings families closer together.
Città della Pieve is one of our Medieval villages recommended for visit for its proximity to il Fontanaro (only 13 km). From the city you can see both Lake Trasimeno and Lake of Chiusi.
