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.

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.
