Museums

Esposizione Archeologica sui Plestini Umbri

The archaeological exhibition of the Umbrian Plestini is the first nucleus of the State Archaeological Museum of Colfiorito. The data collected testify to a great vitality of the Plestine area, documented from the early Iron Age until the early Middle Ages, other finds come from recent surface research and excavations in the fulginate territory. Among the materials on display are objects from sanctuaries, religious and commercial centers of the territory and rich funeral kits.

Churches and places of worship

Collegiata di San Salvatore

The collegiate church of San Salvatore was erected in the X-XII century. It is an ancient Benedictine structure with a facade of the fourteenth century that has three pointed portals surmounted by three rose windows. In the interior of the church you can admire the burial stone of Corradino Trinci, who was the prior of the collegiate church. You can admire the ancient frescoes, the Madonna with the Child, Saint John the Baptist and Blessed Pietro Crisci.

Churches and places of worship

Monastero Sant'anna

The Monastery was founded in the second half of the fourteenth century by Fra' Paoluccio Trinci. At that time he exercised his monasterial function for a group of young noble girls, for which he was also known as the 'Countess' Monastery. The building is full of frescoes from the 15th century, which make the decoration of the monastery very special; we can also mention its two famous interior cloisters. Currently, at the center of the building we can also find “La Casa Beata Angelina”, an institute of religious women, it is a receptive structure also open to the public.

Castles, palaces and mansions

Rocca Calestro ruderi

Rocca Calestro was built as a place of defense and as a residence of the Castellano. The building has an unregular shape and this is because it adapts to the hill above the village. From the original plan of the castle it would be said that the building was larger than what has been left in today's days. In the castle you can see part of the walls with two towers, the latter were renovated in the 90s and then moved on to the partial restoration of the ruin of the keep in 2006.

Castles, palaces and mansions

Palazzo Vitelleschi

The Palace dates back to the 17th century and over the years has undergone numerous restorations. It took its name from Giovanni Vitelleschi, a cardinal of the time, who modified all Foligno, on the delegation of Pope Eugene IV. The interior, divided into four rooms (by David, Joseph, Solomon and Moses) contains numerous decorations typical of the '600, while, on the facade, there are two letters (G & P), probably the initials by Gregorio Piermarini. Currently, the building is home to an office of the municipality.

Deep in the quiet of Umbria’s countryside, Le Cerque is an oasis of peace surrounded by 22 hectares of park, partly dedicated to our own production of olive oil and wine. The original farmhouse, recently renovated, dates back to the 1600s and benefits from a magical 360-degree view of the surrounding hills. The pool on top of the hill offers the best panorama that stretches out as far as the eye can see. Just two hours away from Florence and Rome, in the heart of Italy, Le Cerque is an ideal place to reach several historic towns in Umbria and Tuscany while resting in an oasis of nature. The only noises that can be heard are the distant bells of the nearby churches and the chirping of birds. Le Cerque is what we Italians call agriturismo, a farm stay where you can reawaken traditional habits, living closely with nature and eating healthy, locally-produced food, with the best comforts of modern life.
