In Italy, the number of medieval cities is vast and choosing the most beautiful one is impossible. However, in the list of those that are worth a visit is a small Umbrian town, Spello.
Nestled in the rock on the slope of Mount Subasio, Spello retains the greatest number of testimonies from Roman times: the remains of the theater, of the amphitheater , the thermal baths and five Roman gates. Added to this are numerous medieval testimonies: in addition to the walls that is a continuity of the Roman walls there are the churches and houses built with the pink stone of Subasio at the which houses owe its characteristic color. The beautiful old town is a maze of narrow alleys and narrow streets that wind among medieval buildings still well preserved.

The best time to visit Spello is May and June when the balconies, windows and alleys of the historic center are covered with flowers. It means that the inhabitants are preparing for the “Windows, Balconies and Flowering Alleys” competition. It seems that the inhabitants love flowers, because on the day of Corpus Domini there is the Infiorata that attracts numerous Italian and foreign tourists. Preparations for the Infiorata start much earlier: you have to collect the flowers and herbs. Their petals will then be used to draw the beautiful colorful and scented rugs on the streets of the town that will vanish, trampled during the procession.
