Towering above Spoletto is a 1,400 year old fortress/palace that houses some of the most spectacular painted medieval mural walls in the world. These murals had been known to exist but their location was an unknown for centuries. (See Spoleto Castle page for photo gallery and more text.After our visit to the fortress, yet another treat: an amazing lunch of regional cuisine in the old center square of Spoleto. You will have your first taste of Umbria at this small unassuming restaurant that we found on our scouting day here. Umbrian wine and a special pasta made only in Umbria will be the sumptuous offering for our first meal together.
