Nestled on a spur of Mount Subasio, Spello is a charming village, with its ancient sandstone houses, narrow and winding medieval streets, sudden panoramic views of the surrounding hills, and, more than any other place in the region, well-preserved traces of Roman presence.
Notable sights include the city walls, the Augustan gates and the Villa of Mosaics. Also worth visiting are the Church of Santa Maria Maggiore with the Baglioni Chapel, beautifully frescoed by Pinturicchio, the 13th-century Church of San Andrea, and the Collegiata of San Lorenzo.
Spello is also famous for its late-june Infiorate, flower petal carpets created by true artists to celebrate Corpus Christi. At the table, the typical olive oil is always present.
