Holiday apartment in Lugnano In Teverina: Culture and Tiber Views

If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Lugnano In Teverina, you will find a place where medieval architecture, archaeology and the landscape stand closely side by side. The largely intact historic centre preserves its medieval character. At the same time, a route leads from the town into the Tiber Valley, while museums and archaeological sites provide insights into different periods. When planning your trip, you can therefore choose between different focuses, including cultural discoveries, walks and expansive landscapes.

Historic Centre and Sacred Architecture

In the historic centre, preserved walls and remnants of towers form part of the townscape. A prominent example is the Torre Palombara, a typical medieval tower featuring a white stone dove. Together with the centre's preserved medieval character, this creates a townscape that is particularly revealed through its architectural details.

The Chiesa Collegiata di S. Maria is a Romanesque church dating from the 11th and 12th centuries. It stands on the site of an earlier building from the 9th century; its portico was added before 1230. Inside are Cosmatesque mosaics, whose geometric design creates a distinctive accent within the sacred architecture.

The Chiesa della Maestà, also known as Maestade, is dedicated to San Giovanni Decollato. It can be dated to the 1400s and may initially have been a small image chapel.

Archaeology from a Roman Villa to the First World War

Since 2012, the Museo Civico di Lugnano in Teverina has housed a permanent exhibition on subjects relating to the First World War. It also contains two exhibitions featuring archaeological finds from a Roman villa and from a 5th-century AD children's necropolis at the Poggio Gramignano archaeological site. The museum's contents therefore range from more recent history back to Roman times and Late Antiquity.

The Villa of Poggio Gramignano in Lugnano in Teverina is also part of an immersive multimedia route. It connects five important archaeological sites from the Etruscan and Roman periods in four municipalities of the Strategia Aree Interne dell'Umbria: the Crocefisso del Tufo necropolis and the excavations at Campo della Fiera in Orvieto, Coriglia in Castel Viscardo, the Vallone San Lorenzo necropolis in Montecchio, and the Villa of Poggio Gramignano in Lugnano in Teverina.

Paths, Springs and the Landscape along the Tiber

The “Il benessere con le terme” route follows an old path that connected Lugnano with the Tiber Valley and offers views of the surrounding landscape. Around the basin, it includes wooden walkways with railings as well as a nature trail featuring the area's characteristic vegetation. The route lies in one of the Tiber's most beautiful valleys, between the riverbanks and the characteristic clay badlands.

Near the Tiber, the sulphur springs of “Castello di Ramici” emerge.

Which Holiday Apartment Suits Your Travel Plans

When choosing your holiday apartment in Lugnano In Teverina, you can align your preferred focus with the town's specific experiences. Those interested in culture will find several historical points of interest in the centre, the churches and the Museo Civico. Anyone wishing to connect their stay more closely with the landscape can take their bearings from the Tiber views from the gardens of the Ex Orto Ungari, the paths along the route and the sulphur springs of Castello di Ramici.

The gardens of the Ex Orto Ungari offer a viewpoint over the lower Tiber Valley. From there, you can see the Castello, Lake Alviano and a bend in the Tiber.
