The Rocca Paolina, Fortress of Perugia
One of the mandatory stop when it comes to visit the centre of Perugia, is for sure the Rocca Paolina, a symbol of papal power, which is considered as the fortress of Perugia. This artistic building was constructed on behalf of Paul III Farnese (1540-1543). The Younger Antonio da Sangallo was the designer of this ancient masterpiece. With its large, strong, and defensive walls, it was built in the right historical center of Perugia. For entering the underground historical center, you can use a door at Porta Marzia or the escalator system, which connects the Piazza Partigiani and Piazza Italia.

Then, your guide will take you to visit another milestone of the centre of Perugia, located just right in the city centre: the monumental Fontana Maggiore, a mandible marble fountain, which is located between the Palazzo dei Priori and Cathedral. The sculptors Nicola Pisano & Giovanni Pisano had built this Piazza Grande in 1277-1278. It is considered as the central point of the city, 5 straddle roads also start from this marble monument. Dig deep in the sights of the political, urban, and enormous fulcrum of Perugia with your qualified guide.
