Montefalco, Middle Ages & Wine – Artistic and Enogastronomic Tour
Duration
2 to 3 hours
Overview
-
Montefalco, home of the famous Montefalco and Sagrantino wines, is called “Umbrian Balcony” because of its spectacular position on a hill overlooking the wonderful Umbrian Valley, but it is also famous for its history and artistic wonders!
Walking along the beautifully preserved medieval walls, you will reach the fascinating church of Sant’Agostino, decorated by the famous Gothic painter Ambrogio Lorenzetti.
Piazza del Comune, the main square of Montefalco, is located at the top of the hill and is surrounded by amazing palaces built in the Middle Ages.
You will then visit the wonderful church-museum of Saint Francis, where you will admire important frescoes by Benozzo Gozzoli, depicting the Stories of the life of Saint Francis, and by Perugino, Raphael’s master, who painted here a beautiful Nativity Scene.
Finally, you will enjoy typical Italian and Umbrian products thanks to a fantastic Tasting Menu: excellent local cheeses and salami, accompanied by the unmissable Montefalco wine!
