Remainders of the past

Around Faggeto Tomb

Passing below the fairytale Antognolla Castle,


you can start your walk not far from the mountainside of Mount Acuto.


After few minutes you can arrive at the ruins of Gualterotta Castle.




The ancient gate will welcome you between the high tower and the remains of the big main building.














On the tower facade you can see two entrances: the principal one is the upper, where you can arrived by a footbridge; the lower was used only to take materials up with a rope or a basket.


Come back to the main path, after Bisciaro Castle


end the view of Mount Tezio - the Perugia mountain -


you'll walk inside a wood. Few minutes on a steep lane and then, suddenly, a door... a big stone door.



It's Faggeto Tomb, an Etruscan tomb from II BC.
It's incredible! You can open it with a finger!


It's simply beautiful. It's simply Umbria, in Italy.
