Città della Pieve

Originally an Etruscan-Roman center, in the 7th century it became a powerful Castrum Plebis built around the parish church of Santi Gervasio e Protasio.
The old town retains the original typical urban layout of medieval times, on which are grafted Renaissance, Baroque, Rococo and Neo-Classical architectural elements which highlight the artistic vitality of the city. The cathedral of Santi Gervasio e Protasio (the Duomo) is really worth visiting as it houses the works of two great painters from Città della Pieve, Perugino and Pomarancio. There is also the church of Santa Maria dei Bianchi, where the remarkable ‘Adoration of the Magi’ by Perugino can be found.
Outside the city walls is the church of Sant’Agostino, the church of San Francesco which is now the shrine of the Madonna di Fatima, the church of Santa Maria dei Servi with its fresco by Perugino showing the Deposition from the Cross, and the church of Saint Lucia.
