Serviced Apartments in Spoleto

This ancient city sits comfortably on the foothills of the Apennines in the Perugia province of Umbria and offers a really delightful location for a serviced residence or holiday apartment boasting a good dose of ancient architecture, fascinating museums and a wonderful natural environment.

The city is made up of two parts, the lower town, much of which was rebuilt after WWII, and the upper town where you will find a Roman theatre, medieval architecture and the superb Museo Archeologico.

What better place to start your tour of the city than in upper town, virtually on the front step of your Spoleto apartment rental or holiday letting. Wander through the atmospheric streets, past the charming dwellings and you will eventually find yourself face to face with the city’s Duomo, Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta. This 12th century structure was built on the site of a much older church and boasts a lovely Romanesque façade with 8 rose windows. The interior is adorned with beautiful frescoes which can be viewed properly by a coin operated light. Look out for the vibrantly painted crucifix and the handwritten letter of St. Francis of Assisi.

The Museo Archeologico is housed in A Benedictine convent and is literally on the doorstep of an ancient Roman theatre which is part of the museum’s exhibits as well as the numerous discoveries of Roman artefacts that were made in the theatre. These include the busts of Augustus and Julius Caesar which date back to the 1st century and two stone tablets from the 300s BC inscribed with a warning. The inscription warns people to treat the Bosco Sacro, sacred forest, kindly otherwise they will be required to offer an ox to the God Jupiter. The ancient equivalent of today’s ‘Anyone caught littering will be prosecuted’ signs.

If you would like to visit the Sacred Forest yourself it is situated a short distance from your Spoleto service apartment or aparthotel on Monteluco, where St. Francis of Assisi once resided.
