Perugia - The Historic Capital of Umbria

I am going to include links to wikipedia where you can find out more details of the places visited, starting with the town of Perugia.  Just click on the title above or visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perugia

Perugia, like all of the medieval towns we visited, is located high on a hill in order to better defend it against enemies.  The easiest way to the top was via the MiniMetro, an automated electric transportation system.

There were ornate cathedrals

And medieval palaces
