Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Taken on 13/10/2020. Fossato di Vico, also known as 'Fossato Alto', is a picturesque medieval village perched on the hillside at 581 metres above sea level. This hidden gem in the Umbria region is full of beautiful historic buildings, such as the Old Town Hall, the Clock Tower built by the Gricci brothers, and the Crenellated Tower above the entrance gate. Moreover, Fossato di Vico boasts a number of remarkable religious buildings such as the Church of San Pietro, dug into the rock and built in the French Gothic style imported by the Cistercians, the Church of San Benedetto, a Benedictine abbey and today a national monument which has the remains of frescoes from the Gubbio school and a portrait of Urban V by Matteo da Gualdo. Then there are the extraordinarily beautiful 'Rughe', a street covered by round-arched stone vaults (see the first photo), a rare example of 13th-century castle architecture having a chiefly defensive function. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲: Fossato di Vico can be reached by train via Ancona, Fabriano, Foligno and Rome. It takes about half an hour to reach the village on foot (unless you opt for the E052 bus run by BusItalia). ______________________________________ #Italia #Italy #FossatoDiVico #Umbria #UmbriaTourism #UmbriaCuoreVerde #IgersUmbria #Loves_United_Borghi #Borghi_Cartoline #Borghi_World #Borghi_PhotoGroup #Alluring_Villages #MedievalVillage #ItaliaSegreta #IgersPerugia #YallersUmbria #VolgoUmbria #VolgoItalia #Ig_Italia #NeverStopTravelling #WorldTravel #LensCulture #Affreschi #ItalyIsBack #RiparTIAMOItalia #TrenItalia #TravelGreen #Italy_Trip #Raw_Italy #Italy_Illife (at Fossato di Vico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGR1Xf7FVku/?igshid=1krs3hlmtqxgv
