Perugia Sotterranea : guided tour of the archaeological area

About this activity

Discover the most hidden side of Perugia with a guided tour of the picturesque Perugia Underground, located under the historic Cathedral of San Lorenzo.

Descend up to 15 metres below the current city level and explore a fascinating archaeological trail spanning over 2,500 years of history, from Etruscan to Roman and medieval times.

Accompanied by an expert Guide, you will walk along ancient Roman streets still marked by the passage of chariots, observe the imposing Etruscan wall that still supports Piazza IV Novembre and visit the remains of a Roman domus dating back to the first century BC.C.

The experience allows to understand the urban and religious evolution of the ancient acropolis of Perugia through underground environments normally not accessible independently.

Perfect for lovers of history, archaeology and for those who want to live an original experience in the heart of Umbria.
