History

Many scholars believe that Perugia was founded by the Umbres. The first written evidence dates from the Etrurian period. Perugia was one of the 12 Etruscan city-states. In 310 BC, the city was captured by the Romans and became the Roman colony of Perusia. In the first century BC, Perugia was burned during the military conflict between Octavian and Mark Antony.

After the collapse of the Roman Empire in the 6th century, the city became the center of the Lombard principality. Later in the Middle Ages, Perugia was quite independent. The struggle for power in the city was fought between the families of Oddi and Baglioni, which led to numerous clashes. In the struggle between the Guelphs and the Ghibellines, Perugia supported the former. During various conflicts and wars, the Pope often found salvation and help within its walls.

During the Renaissance, Perugia became the center for the development of the Umbrian school of painting. The city gave the world such giants of art as Perugino and Raphael. In 1540, the Farnese defeated the last of the Baglioni and Perugia was incorporated into the Papal States. During the Napoleonic Wars, the city became the capital of the Tiberin Republic. In the 19th century, Perugia was hit by several earthquakes.

The most important sights of Perugia are concentrated in the old town. The historic core of the city has two perimeters of walls. The outer wall dates back to the Middle Ages. In Perugia, there are quite large sections of medieval city fortifications and gates. The inner wall follows the perimeter of the ancient Etruscan city. Ancient Perugia had seven city gates. Fragments of Etruscan and Roman fortifications have survived to this day.

Piazza IV November - the central square of Perugia and the heart of city life since ancient times. During the Roman era, there was a forum here. In the Middle Ages, a square was formed, which overlooks five streets. The Piazza is surrounded by wonderful old buildings. The highlight of the square is the Maggiore Fountain, built in the 13th century and considered one of the most beautiful medieval fountains in Italy. The beautiful stone sculptures are made by renowned Tuscan craftsmen Pisano. On the western side of the square is the Archbishop's Palace, which now houses the Museum of Natural History. The medieval Via delle Volte leads to Piazza Fortebraccio.

San Lorenzo is a cathedral dedicated to one of the city's patron saints. It was built between 1345 and 1490 in the Gothic style. Interestingly, both the side part and the main façade are still incomplete. The interior is in late Gothic style, has a beautiful choir, an old 14th century stone pulpit and is divided by large columns. In the sacristy, to the right of the main altar, there are 16th century frescoes by di Pesaro. To the east of the cathedral is the Church of San Severo with frescoes by Raphael.

Palazzo dei Priori is the most beautiful building in the main square of Perugia. It is a large palace in the Italian Gothic style of the late 13th and early 14th centuries.

Nearby is the Collegio del Cambio building with frescoes by Perugino.

The third floor of the palazzo houses the National Gallery of Umbria. Here are the works of outstanding masters of the Umbrian school of painting - Perugino, Pinturicchio, including frescoes by Benedetto Bonfigli, as well as sculptures by di Cambio and di Duccio. The gallery demonstrates the development of painting in Umbria from the Middle Ages to the 20th century.

San Bernardino is a medieval oratorio with a magnificent façade of colored marble, limestone and glazed ceramics. The façade was designed by Agostino di Duccio, who was also involved in the construction of the tempio Malatesta in Rimini. The semicircular bas-relief in the central arch is the most important Renaissance work in Perugia. Saint Bernardino of Siena, who preached here, was canonized in 1450, and the local Franciscan monks built a sanctuary to honor him.

San Pietro is an early Christian church rebuilt in the 12th century. The church has a Gothic wooden choir made between 1535 and 1591 and ancient columns. The choirs are considered one of the best of their kind in Italy. The gilded wooden ceiling dates from the 16th century. The interior is decorated with frescoes and paintings by Perugino, Vasari, Reni and other artists. The sacristy displays paintings by Raphael, Perugino and Parmigianino. Next to the church is the 14th century gate of the same name.

San Arcangelo is an early Christian temple built between the 5th and 6th centuries. It is located near the ancient northern gates of the same name. Includes 16 columns with Corinthian capitals, which were previously used in a pagan temple. The architecture of the church is early Romanesque with some Byzantine influences. Interesting early Christian symbols can be seen here, including a pentagram at the entrance and crosses in the style used by the later Templars.

San Domenico is a brick Gothic church. The first building was built in 1305, but in 1614 the nave and vaults collapsed. The reconstruction of the church lasted from 1621 to 1634. The San Domenico style was an example and inspiration for the later San Lorenzo. The temple contains valuable works of art (choir, remains of ancient frescoes, a beautiful altar). It houses the 14th-century tomb of Pope Benedict XI, considered one of the most beautiful Gothic tombstones.

The former Dominican monastery, which adjoins San Domenico, houses an archaeological museum with valuable and rare Roman and Etruscan antiquities. Some of its exhibits date back to the 2nd millennium BC.

Arch d "Agusto is an ancient Etruscan arch built in the 3rd century BC and restored under the Emperor Augustus in the 1st century BC (after which, in fact, it was named). The inscription" Augusta Perusia "on the gate dates from this period. Augustus managed to take Perugia only after a 7-month siege. The arches of the gate connect two trapezoidal towers. The loggia at the top was added during the Renaissance, and the fountain was completed in 1621.

The fortress of Paul III is an ancient fortress and a symbol of papal power until 1860. It was built on the instructions of the Pope to make Perugia a safe haven, like the Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome. For the construction of this fortification, more than 100 buildings were destroyed, mainly belonging to the Baglioni family, which Paul III hated. After the unification of Italy, the fortress was demolished. Only part of the bastion has survived to our time.

The Etruscan Well is a well 37 meters deep and 5 meters in diameter, dating back to the 3rd or 4th century BC. The huge structure was used as a water tank. The well is open to the public. Its bottom is covered with travertine, the same material was used for the walls. The building is located in Danti Square.

History of Perugia

The settlement on the site of modern Perugia was founded by the Etruscans no later than the 6th century BC. e. They chose a high hill (493 m above sea level), on five spurs of which five main urban areas began to develop. The importance of the settlement is evidenced by the fact that it was part of the Etruscan defensive union.

The era of the ancient Romans

In the VI-II centuries BC. e. the first defensive walls were erected, the Etruscan well, the gate of Marcius and the Etruscan arch, the second name of which is the Arch of Augustus. It was rebuilt by the Romans in 40 BC. e., after Octavian Augustus conquered the city from the brother of the commander Mark Antony. Then an inscription appeared on the arch: Augusta Perusia - so the Romans called the old Etruscan city.

After the fall of the Roman Empire, the Goths tried to take possession of Perugia (V-VI centuries), but the inhabitants showed worthy resistance to the barbarians. After the end of the Greco-Gothic War (535-553), Perugia became part of the Ravenna Exarchate, in the so-called Byzantine corridor between Ravenna and Rome.

Middle Ages

In the XI century, Perugia received the status of a commune, the economic and political power of the city reached its climax by the XIII-XIV centuries, when it acquired an architectural appearance that has survived to this day. One of the first European universities was opened here, and is still the leading Italian educational institution working with foreign students.

The noble Baglioni family ruled Perugia until 1540, when Pope Paul III took over the city. In memory of the victory, the Pope ordered the construction of the fortress of Paolina on the lands of Baglioni.

In September 1860, Perugia, as part of Umbria, became part of the united kingdom.

In 1869 Rocca Paolina was destroyed by the inhabitants of the city, but one of the bastions has survived.

During the construction of the citadel, the palaces of the Baglioni family had to be demolished - the fortress occupied several quarters of the Old Town, inside it had its own streets, squares and even a ball court.

The sculptural works decorating the fountain on biblical subjects alternate with characters from fables, images of saints - with allegories of cities, and Christian virtues peacefully coexist with the pagan she-wolf who nurtured Romulus and Remus.
