Overview

Discover Bevagna: Private Tours, Experiences & Custom Travel

Bevagna is a town located in the region of Umbria, Italy's Green Heart - some would call it, in the Sagrantino Wine Producing area which has quickly becoming a favorite among wine-lovers visiting Italy.  

The history of the town is linked to the Roman era, as can be seen by its position along the Via Flaminia as well as various Imperial ruins such as the Roman theatre dating back to the II century AD, and the remains of mosaics featuring marine animals, probably once part of spa buildings.
 
If the ancient heart of the city was Roman, what most characterizes Bevagna today is without doubt, the legacy of the Medieval period from the gates of the city, such as Porta San Venanzo, and part of the city wall, still perfectly visible. Well worth a visit are the Medieval church of the Madonna of the Snow, the Church of St Silvestro, the Church of St Michael Arch Angel, the gothic Palazzo dei Consoli and the fountain in Piazza Silvestri.
 
Visitors to Bevagna enter a world where the historical roots have been carefully preserved and recreated in various festivals and events popular with tourists; such as the Gaite Market, a reenactment of life in the middle ages which shows Bevagna divided into four quarters.
 
This makes for a great stop for lunch during your visit to the area as it is a town largely untouched by any tourists, with wonderful locals and a welcoming feel.  Wonderful and inexpensive accommodations in the area are to be found as well as excellent local guides who can bring you to some of the finest wineries.
