Corciano

Corciano is a commune in Perugia province and sits on a hilltop in Umbria. It features narrow lanes, historic stone structures, and preserves the layout of a medieval settlement.

People settled here in prehistoric times, and the Etruscans left behind artwork and tools. The current form of the settlement developed later in medieval times when fortifications and gates were constructed.

The name Corciano traces back to Etruscan times and reflects the deep roots of settlement on these hills. Today this heritage lives in the narrow lanes where residents move through daily life among ancient stone buildings.

The village is easy to explore on foot since most sights are concentrated in the walled old center. There are restaurants and small lodgings in the center, and you can make day trips to nearby areas from here.

The place is known for being part of Italy's association of beautiful villages and preserving traditional craft techniques. The old city walls remain intact and offer a glimpse into medieval defense methods.
