Stone, Silence & Splendor: A Day in Spoleto

Spoleto: Where History Breathes and Silence Speaks

A Full-Day Private Tour Through Umbria’s Most Poetic Town

Step into a city where time moves softly and every stone tells a story. This immersive private experience invites you to discover Spoleto, a hidden gem of Umbria, where ancient Roman arches, medieval alleys, and serene sanctuaries weave a tapestry of history, nature, and soul.

What to Expect

Spoleto is not just visited — it is felt. Nestled at the foot of the Umbrian Apennines, this timeless city has inspired emperors, popes, and poets alike. With your licensed private guide, you’ll explore a place where architecture and landscape, culture and spirituality exist in perfect harmony.

Highlights of Your Journey

Piazza del Duomo
One of Italy’s most scenic squares, home to the majestic Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta, adorned with Filippo Lippi’s frescoes, Romanesque elegance, and relics of Spoleto’s patron saint, San Ponziano.
Roman and Medieval Landmarks
Walk under the Arch of Drusus, past the Teatro Romano, and into the Casa Romana, believed to have belonged to Emperor Vespasian’s mother. Every step connects you with the city’s layered past.
Rocca Albornoziana & Ponte delle Torri
Visit the imposing 14th-century fortress and enjoy panoramic views over the valley. Then, cross the awe-inspiring aqueduct-bridge, suspended above a dramatic gorge — a marvel of engineering and a path to silence.
Sacred Spaces & Contemplation
Discover the sculpted beauty of San Pietro extra moenia, one of Umbria’s finest Romanesque façades, and enter the serene Monastery of San Ponziano, once a powerful Benedictine stronghold.
