Spello

Located on the slopes of Mount Subasio at 280 meters elevation, Spello extends across 61 square kilometers of Umbrian territory with stone houses and narrow streets.

The settlement gained prominence as Hispellum during the first century BC, later becoming a Roman colony named Flavia Constans under Constantine the Great's reign.

The Collegiata di Santa Maria Maggiore houses substantial frescoes by Pinturicchio, including depictions of Sibille and the Annunciation from 1501.

Visitors can start their exploration from the lower section through the Consular Gate, following a path that leads to numerous churches and the central Piazza della Repubblica.

The Villa dei Mosaici museum presents 360 square meters of restored Roman mosaic floors dating from the third to early fourth century.
