Bevagna



Bevagna is 35 km far away from Perugia and 148 from Rome, that means that It's decentralizaed referring to the modern Via Flaminia. The town is connected with the near Todi and Foligno, but you can reach It even choosing an alternative and enchanting journey which get throught Bettona and Montefalco's area. The city walls are full of towers, bastions, medieval gates and recentpassages to achieve the storic centre. In spite of posthumous interventions It's evident that Bevagna is a medieval town with a ferventcraftsmanship tradiction.

There are many workshop across the characteristic lanes and also the wonderfuland articulated square where the main religious and civil buildings lie, as the Mercato delle Gaite. Freizes and roman columns enrich the town. The built up area of the ancient Mevania coincides, almost totally, with the medieval and modern city, as testimony of It there are: the reticular arrangement of the streets in corso Amendola and the semicircular shape of the area where the theatre used to be.
The town-planning has recently developed outside the city walls where the Roman part of Bevagna was once located.
