Città di Castello

Located at 288 meters above sea level, Città di Castello stretches along the upper Tiber River valley, covering the third largest municipal territory in Umbria.

Founded as Tifernum Tiberinum by the Umbri tribe, the settlement became a Roman federation in the third century BC and received its current name after reconstruction.

The Palazzo Albizzini Museum contains a permanent collection of Alberto Burri works, while the Municipal Art Gallery displays paintings from Renaissance masters.

The city center connects to major transportation routes through the SS 3 bis road, providing direct access to Perugia 56 kilometers south and the A1 highway.

The territory includes Monte Ruperto, a separate portion of land completely detached from the main commune and situated within the neighboring Marche region.
