Città di Castello is a city located in north Umbria, in the province of Perugia. The town’s location in the valley of the Tiber River, and surrounded by the Apennines, is picturesque to say the least. When visiting Città di Castello one can’t help but imagine how the town of all-brick buildings would have looked at the time of the town’s founding, which is thought to date back to the Iron Age and the Etruscans.

The Torre Comunale is the Municipal tower of the town, which was built in the 13^th century. Over the years it has become an important symbol of Città di Castello and it was even used as a jail at one point in time. Visitors can climb to the top of the tower for beautiful views of the valley and the historic center of the town.
