A Guide to Foligno

Foligno is on the eastern side if Umbria and is one of Umbria’s biggest towns. Floigno is unique to Umbria, being a lowland city rather than a medieval town perched on a hilltop. The modern provincial city does however have a beautiful medieval quarter centered around Piazza della Repubblica with its twelfth century Duomo.

The festivities and events of Foligno also capture the long held traditions of the city and include the Giostra della Quintana, an equestrian display accompanied by marvelous period costumes that capture the air of the 1400s. The notable sites include the cathedral, the Palazzo Comunale, Palazzo Pretorio, Palazzo Orfini, Palazzo Trinci, the Romanesque church of St Maria Infraportas, the Abbey of Sassovivo.
