A glimpse of an alley in the historic center of Perugia.
Walking through the historic center of Perugia, it is easy to get lost in its narrow and winding alleys, each of which tells a unique story. One of the most fascinating views is the one you can admire in one of the many hidden alleys of the city, where time seems to have stopped.
This particular alley, with its stone houses, offers a picturesque view that captures the essence of medieval Perugia. The cobbled streets, the wrought iron street lamps and the ancient wooden doors contribute to creating an evocative, almost magical atmosphere. It is a place where every corner invites you to discover something new, whether it is an architectural detail or a small hidden garden.
The historic center of Perugia is a labyrinth of alleys that wind through the five historic districts of the city: Porta Sole, Porta Sant’Angelo, Porta Santa Susanna, Porta Eburnea and Porta San Pietro. Each district has its own distinctive character and offers unique views that deserve to be explored. For example, via Chiara is bright and welcoming, while via Ombrosa is narrow and dark, creating a fascinating contrast.
One of the most fascinating aspects of these alleys is their ability to tell stories through the names of the streets. Via Bella, via Speciosa and via Pulcra, for example, offer glimpses that, despite the ironic names, offer enchanting views and unique architectural details.
Perugia is a city that invites you to get lost in its alleys, to discover hidden corners and to be surprised by the beauty that lies behind every corner. Every glimpse is an invitation to slow down, to observe and to immerse yourself in the history and culture of this fascinating Umbrian city.

Where is the point, more or less, where I took the shot:

From the main square in the centre, five royal roads branched off, which connected – and still partly connect – the city of Perugia with Cortona (today the Via Cortonese overlaps with the Trasimeno state road), Orvieto (Via Marscianese), Gubbio (Via Eugubina), Città di Castello and the Via Flaminia (Foligno) which led from Rome to Ariminium (now Romagna).
