Spello is a medieval hilltop village that has retained much of its original appearance and many important monuments and is a pleasure to explore. Still surrounded by ruins of ancient Roman walls and others built more recently during the Papal domain to create the 'Fortress', Spello is officially classified as one of the most 'beautiful villages in Italy'.
As well as the village itself and the Roman and medieval monuments, there are also several important works of interest, including a cycle of frescoes by Pinturicchio in the church of Santa Maria Maggiore.
