An elegant fountain dominates the center of the square, while the Palazzo dei Priori, guarded by the Grifo and the Lion, and the Cathedral of San Lorenzo, with the Christ of Salt, tell centuries of history and traditions. This is Piazza IV Novembre, the beating heart of Perugia: the place where once crossed the cardo and the decumanus of the Roman city and where even today you can find the most authentic symbols of Perugia’s identity.

Duration: 15 mins

The Etruscan Arch is one of the most extraordinary testimonies of ancient Perugia and one of the best preserved monumental entrances to the city. Built over two thousand years ago, it continues to welcome those who enter the historic center, telling the Etruscan origins of Perugia.

Duration: 10 mins
