Perugia and its old town

It was realized by the artists Giovanni and Nicola Pisano, authors of an authentic masterpiece for modern eyes. Besides Piazza IV Novembre and the Main Fountain, the old town of Perugia preserves the Cathedral of San Lorenzo, the most important religious building of the Umbrian chief town, realized in Gothic style. Its construction dates back to 1345 and the work finished in the last XV century.
Overlooking Piazza IV Novembre, Priori Palace has been the seat of the National Gallery of Umbria for almost 150 years, where masterpieces by artists such as Perugino, Piero della Francesca, Pinturicchio and Duccio di Buoninsegna are preserved. The works cover the period from 1200 to 1700.

A few km from Assisi
Choosing the option of the car rental at Perugia Airport you can get, after a trip of about 15 minutes, to Assisi, the home city of Saint Francis.
Assisi is a small hilly/mountainous centre, rich in history and monuments belonging to the most varied periods; the famous Roman Amphitheatre dating back to the I century has been, sadly, almost entirely destroyed, while the Temple of Minerva, dating back even to the I century B.C., has a still visible façade with six Corinthian columns, very well preserved.
Assisi is famous above all for its Basilicas of San Francesco and Santa Chiara, two of the most venerated saints in Italy. The Basilica of San Francesco is the destination of thousands of tourists every year; it dates to the XIII century and still preserves the remains of the saint who used to talk to animals; it was declared World Heritage by UNESCO. Less imposing, but not less important, the Basilica of Santa Chiara, also built in the XIII century, in its style recalls that of San Francesco. Here too, the church preserves the relics of the saint.
Assisi is easily reachable also by the main Umbrian airport, just about 10 km from the city centre, booking your rental car at Perugia Airport on RentalUpwebsite.
