Discover Città di Castello

Città di Castello, one of the main cities in northern Umbria, is an important stage on the Via di Francesco (North Way). Surrounded by fertile plains along the Tiber River, this city boasts an elegant historic center and a rich Renaissance heritage. It was a vibrant artistic hub, with masters such as Luca Signorelli and young Raphael Sanzio passing through its workshops, leaving behind some of their early works. For pilgrims, a visit to the Pinacoteca Comunale, located in Palazzo Vitelli alla Cannoniera, is an opportunity to admire this legacy. The city, of Roman origin, preserves a grid-like urban layout with noble palaces, churches, and a cathedral of great interest. It's a major service center, ideal for a cultural break. On the Camino de San Francisco, Città di Castello is a stop that connects the traveler to the splendor of Renaissance Umbria, an experience combining history, art, and the pleasant atmosphere of a city deeply rooted in culture.
