Lots of history, beautiful architecture, great views

Todi is a hilltop town town in Umbria with amazing views . Since the centre of town is ZTL ( which means you have to park outside the walls and if you make the mistake of driving in, trust me, the fine will@arrive in the mail 🥲) Todi offers excellent options to get their visitors to the centre. Once parked in the Public paid parking there is either a shuttle bus every 15 minutes or a funicular into town, both of which are offered free.

Old Town with some interesting buildings and lots of alleyways to explore. Funicular out of action so free bus to town from parking area available.

Lovely main square full of life. On the south side is a gelateria so u can buy children's patience while u explore town 😎😎.

So Beautiful! I got really impressed with the beauty of this church and the park around it. Great view, fantastic constructions. So romantic. I hope to go back more times.

I was lucky enough to witness a live band at this church. Beautiful frescoes and statues, too

Rather unusual building...

Beautiful church just off of the centre of Todi. Worth visiting.

Extraordinary!

Nice church, great bell tower

(Translated by Google) The church of San Fortunato in Todi, begun in Romanesque style in 1192 and rebuilt in Gothic style starting in 1292, had its façade left unfinished. It stands atop a staircase and features a three-nave interior with frescoed chapels, including works by Masolino da Panicale and Andrea Polinori. The choir contains wooden stalls from 1590, and the crypt holds the remains of Jacopone da Todi; some original works are now in the Pinacoteca Comunale. (Original) La chiesa di San Fortunato a Todi, iniziata in stile romanico nel 1192 e ricostruita in gotico dal 1292, rimase incompiuta nella facciata. Sorge in cima a una scalinata e presenta un interno a tre navate con cappelle affrescate, tra cui opere di Masolino da Panicale e Andrea Polinori. Nel coro si trovano stalli lignei del 1590 e nella cripta le spoglie di Jacopone da Todi; alcune opere originarie sono oggi nella Pinacoteca Comunale.

So peaceful and beautiful. Great place for meditation

Impressive structure at the low level of the city. Great views just across the road.

AMAZING! Must see in Umbria. St. Mary of consolation church with unusual form, form of a greek cross. Beautiful carvings in stone, a sculpture of pope born in Todi inside

We didn’t really take a good look of the inside but the outside was very particular in a good way. The outside was decorated with a lot of attention and skill. The inside was pretty nice considering I only took a quick look. Would recommend

Beautiful building and free entry. Really surprised us as you come over a hill and see such a nice site. Must see inside!

Rather unusual location outside the city walls. Otherwise very beautiful and very bright church.

Interesting building....but you have to be into churches to go out of your way

(Translated by Google) Highly recommended for art and history lovers! Only the Throne Room and the Gallery are open to the public, but they are absolutely worth a visit for the richness and finesse of the frescoes. The Gallery in particular is an unexpected surprise, truly enchanting. I also recommend taking the guided tour. My husband and I were accompanied by a knowledgeable and friendly guide, a restorer, who explained the frescoes to us in a fascinating way, telling us interesting anecdotes and pointing out curious and even amusing details that we certainly wouldn't have noticed on our own. (Original) Vivamente consigliato a chi ama l’arte e la storia! Sono aperti al pubblico solo la Sala del Trono e la Galleria, ma meritano assolutamente la visita per la ricchezza e la finezza degli affreschi. La Galleria in particolare è una sorpresa inaspettata, davvero incantevole. Consiglio inoltre di scegliere la visita guidata. Mio marito ed io siamo stati accompagnati da una guida competente e simpatica, una restauratrice, che ci ha illustrato gli affreschi in modo appassionante, raccontandoci aneddoti interessanti e mostrandoci dettagli curiosi e anche divertenti, che da soli non avremmo certamente notato.

(Translated by Google) If you find yourself in Umbria near Todi, among the many things to see in this beautiful town, don't miss a visit to the Bishop's Palace. Stunning frescoes recount the various stages and figures in Todi's history, masterfully explained by a talented and friendly guide. You'll leave feeling satisfied, having learned a little more about a town already rich in art and history. (Original) Se vi trovate in Umbria nei pressi di Todi tra le varie cose da visitare in questa bella cittadina non perdetevi la visita al palazzo Vescovile. Affreschi stupendi che raccontano i vari passaggi e personaggi della storia di Todi magistralmente spiegati da una valente e simpatica guida. Uscirete soddisfatti per aver conosciuto un po'di più di una cittadina di per sé già ricca di arte e storia.

(Translated by Google) Stunning. It's hard to imagine finding such knowledgeable staff who can engage visitors. And the room we visited with the frescoes came to life, and their presentation left us filled with gratitude. Everyone should have this experience. Mauro y Baby (Original) Stupendo. Immaginabile trovare personale così preparato che riesce a coinvolgere i visitatori. E la Sala visitata con gli affreschi prendono vita e con la loro presentazione lascia i nostri occhi pieni di riconoscenza. Tutti dovrebbero fare questa esperienza. Mauro y Baby

(Translated by Google) You can only visit two rooms. With very beautiful frescoes. Ticket price per person 3 euros or 5 with a guide. If you choose the visit without a guide at the entrance they offer you a brochure. We chose the visit without a guide. We were given the brochure. Which is not a book but a simple BROCHURE. At the exit we said goodbye to the gentleman who had bought the tickets at the entrance and had donated the brochure. And here is the surprise: this gentleman when saying goodbye asked for the brochure to be returned!!!! He left us speechless!!! However, it is not a visit that has particular merits for the contents compared to the cultural heritage that we have in Italy. Asking for the brochure to be returned seemed an unkind act (not to mention other things). With all the beauty of the cathedral and the Crypt I do not recommend the bishop's palace (Original) Si visitano soltanto due sale. Con affreschi molto belli. Costo del biglietto a persona 3 euro o 5 con la guida. Se si sceglie la visita senza guida all'ingresso ti offrono una brochure . Abbiamo scelto la visita senza guida. Ci è stata consegnata la brochure. Che non è un libro ma una semplice vera e propria BROCHURE. All'uscita abbiamo salutato il signore che aveva fatto i biglietti all'ingresso e aveva donato la brochure. Ed ecco la sorpresa: questo signore nel salutarci ha richiesto la restituzione della brochure!!!! Ci ha lasciati di stucco!!! Non è comunque una visita che ha particolari pregi per i contenuti rispetto ai beni culturali che abbiamo in Italia. Richiedere la restituzione della brochure ci è sembrato un atto poco gentile ( a tacere d'altro). Con tutte le bellezze anche del duomo e della Cripta non consiglio il palazzo vescovile

(Translated by Google) We entered out of curiosity and were rewarded: stunning frescoes made magnificent and intriguing thanks to our guide Valentina. A huge thank you for illustrating them with such passion, because we wouldn't have captured so many allegories on our own. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED WITH A GUIDED TOUR 🔝🔝 (Original) Siamo entrati per curiosità e siamo stati ripagati : affreschi stupendi resi magnifici e intriganti grazie alla NS guida Valentina. Un immenso grazie per averli illustrati con tanta passione perché da soli nn avremmo catturato tante allegorie.CONSIGLIATISSIMO CON VISITA GUIDATA🔝🔝

Nice.

(Translated by Google) Entering and being enchanted is almost natural. In the small Church of S. Nicolò in Todi you can breathe spiritual atmospheres of rare strength. A prayer and taking a few photos repay my spirit. (Original) Entrare e rimanerne incantato è quasi naturale. Nella piccola Chiesa di S. Nicolò in Todi si respirano atmosfere spirituali di rara forza. Una preghiera e lo scatto di qualche foto mi ripagano lo spirito.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful 11th century church, shame it's closed. (Original) Chiesa del XI secolo bellissima, peccato sia chiusa.

(Translated by Google) I would have gladly visited it because the very simple facade gives the idea of ​​an ancient church and therefore usually a treasure chest of art. Unfortunately, on September 22, 2023, it was inaccessible and everything suggests it had been inaccessible for some time. A real shame because reading the other reviews confirms that it is a complex of some importance. I didn't even find any indications on the name of the church because there is no indication on the outside, not even of a tourist nature. Searching with Google Maps later, I see the name of San Nicolò, but not even Google Maps highlights it. (Original) L'avrei visitata volentieri perché la facciata semplicissima dà un'idea di una chiesa antica e per questo di solito uno scrigno d'arte. Purtroppo, il 22 settembre 2023, era inaccessibile e tutto lascia pensare lo fosse da tempo. Un vero peccato perché leggendo le altre recensioni si ha la conferma che si tratti di un complesso di un certo rilievo. Non ho trovato nemmeno indicazioni sul nome della chiesa perché all'esterno non è presente alcuna indicazione, nemmeno di tipo turistico. Cercando con Google Maps, in seguito, vedo il nome di San Nicolò, neppure Google Maps tuttavia la evidenzia.

(Translated by Google) The Church of San Giuseppe, located near Porta Aurea in Todi, is a fascinating example of 17th century Baroque architecture. Built in 1642, this church was commissioned by the guild of carpenters and cabinetmakers, who chose Saint Joseph as their patron saint, reflecting the devotion of the artisan workers of the time. Inside, the main altar houses a valuable canvas from 1623 created by Andrea Polinori, depicting the Holy Family with Saint Joseph intent on his work as a carpenter. This painting is particularly significant, as it illustrates the centrality of manual labor and family in the spirituality of the time. The church also preserves other 17th century paintings, further enriching its artistic heritage. Worthy of note is the organ from 1729, an instrument that has accompanied liturgies for centuries, testifying to the liveliness of the local religious community. An interesting curiosity concerns the position of the church: being located near Porta Aurea, one of the historical accesses to the city, it served as a spiritual reference point for travelers and pilgrims entering Todi. Furthermore, the proximity to the artisans' workshops underlines the deep connection between the church and the daily life of the community. For visitors interested in exploring the Church of St. Joseph, it is advisable to inquire about opening times, as it may not always be accessible to the public. On the occasion of the feast of St. Joseph on March 19, the church is usually open for celebrations and visits, offering an ideal opportunity to appreciate its art and spiritual atmosphere. The visit to the Church of San Giuseppe represents an immersion in the artisanal and religious history of Todi, allowing you to better understand the traditions and devotion that have shaped the city over the centuries. (If you liked my review click ❤️. Thank you! 🙏🏻😊) (Original) La Chiesa di San Giuseppe, situata nei pressi di Porta Aurea a Todi, è un affascinante esempio di architettura barocca del XVII secolo. Edificata nel 1642, questa chiesa fu commissionata dalla corporazione dei falegnami e degli ebanisti, che scelsero San Giuseppe come loro patrono, riflettendo la devozione delle maestranze artigiane dell'epoca. All'interno, l'altare maggiore ospita una pregevole tela del 1623 realizzata da Andrea Polinori, raffigurante la Sacra Famiglia con San Giuseppe intento nel suo lavoro di carpentiere. Questo dipinto è particolarmente significativo, poiché illustra la centralità del lavoro manuale e della famiglia nella spiritualità del tempo. La chiesa conserva anche altre tele del XVII secolo, arricchendo ulteriormente il suo patrimonio artistico. Degno di nota è l'organo del 1729, strumento che ha accompagnato le liturgie per secoli, testimoniando la vivacità della comunità religiosa locale. Una curiosità interessante riguarda la posizione della chiesa: essendo situata vicino a Porta Aurea, uno degli accessi storici alla città, fungeva da punto di riferimento spirituale per i viaggiatori e i pellegrini che entravano a Todi. Inoltre, la vicinanza alle botteghe degli artigiani sottolinea il legame profondo tra la chiesa e la vita quotidiana della comunità. Per i visitatori interessati a esplorare la Chiesa di San Giuseppe, è consigliabile informarsi sugli orari di apertura, poiché potrebbe non essere sempre accessibile al pubblico. In occasione della festa di San Giuseppe, il 19 marzo, la chiesa è solitamente aperta per le celebrazioni e le visite, offrendo un'opportunità ideale per apprezzarne l'arte e l'atmosfera spirituale. La visita alla Chiesa di San Giuseppe rappresenta un'immersione nella storia artigianale e religiosa di Todi, permettendo di comprendere meglio le tradizioni e la devozione che hanno plasmato la città nel corso dei secoli.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful (Original) Bellissima

A place of singular beauty for all those who search for silence and peace. The way of the cross is inspiring for its sculptures as well as for the setting. The crypt and the basilica are also inspiring with it's cylindrical architecture. The chapel of the cross is unique for its beauty. Was happy to note the words on top of the cross in Latin Greek and Aramaic. The crown at the foot of the cross and Jesus who is still alive with eyes open, interceding for mercy.

Wonderful place

Ok

Beautiful mass n prayers

I love this soul place

Calm

holy

Impressive facade on the town square at the top pf a large flight of stairs which lead to an equally impressive interior with some beautiful works of art.

A beautiful church, with museum under the foundation, worth a visit

We recently attended Mass at the Cathedral (Duomo) in Todi, Italy. Todi is a medieval walled city in Umbria that date back to the Etruscans. The city has many attractions for those interested in the area history as well as good restaurants. After the service we met with the choir director and his family. It turned out the director's wife, Elisa Picchiotti, works at the museum and operates a tour guide company. Elisa remembered us from the museum in the Piazza del Popolo where she volunteers and we had recently visited. When we found out she did tours we quickly arranged a tour. Elisa grew up in Todi, is a university graduate an accomplished historian and is very passionate about Todi and the surrounding towns in Umbria. She speaks excellent English. Our walking tour included the Todi Cathedral, San Fortunato Church, the Piazza, Bishops palace, and generally the area around the city center of Todi. It included many fascinating details that most people would not ever notice such as the scandalous carvings on the entrance of the San Fortunato Church that have been there for centuries. Elisa was genuinely interested in making our visit to Todi memorable. I highly recommend her for a tour of Todi; visit her website todiguide.com for contact information and to see the other areas in Umbria that she will give tours.

It soars but doesn’t awe. Stark inside with a plain design. You know how they built it. Simply. Tour guide seem to struggle to keep their travelers interested.

Must see church in Todi

Delightful frescoe at the entrance

The jewel of Todi

In reality it deserves 5* but they don’t accept card to pay the ticket …for some reason, still at “cash only” here.

The worst churches I have ever been after having to pay for an entry. This is a tourist scam. Try to avoid this tourist scam and spend your money wisely on something else. Worst experience. I haven’t paid money even at the one of the most beautiful church in Rome. Avoid this trap

An absolute gem in Todi

Incredibile and beautiful masterpiece.

This place is exquisite

(Translated by Google) In the heart of Todi, not far from the cathedral, stands the Oratory of the Santissima Annunziata, known as the Church of the Nunziatina, an elegant example of 17th-century Baroque architecture. Behind the simple façade lies a single space rich in color, gilded stucco, angels, flowers, and fruit, earning it the nickname "Little Sistine Chapel." Built for the Company of the Santissima Nunziata to assist pilgrims, it houses valuable works such as a panel inspired by Veronese's Wedding at Cana and Andrea Polinori's 1627 painting depicting Jacopone da Todi in ecstasy before the crucifix. (Original) Nel cuore di Todi, poco distante dalla cattedrale, si trova l’Oratorio della Santissima Annunziata, noto come Chiesa della Nunziatina, un elegante esempio di barocco del XVII secolo. Dietro la sobria facciata si apre un unico ambiente ricco di colori, stucchi dorati, angeli, fiori e frutti, tanto da meritare l’appellativo di “piccola cappella Sistina”. Sorta per la Compagnia della Santissima Nunziata, destinata all’assistenza dei pellegrini, conserva opere di grande valore come una tavola ispirata alle Nozze di Cana del Veronese e il dipinto di Andrea Polinori del 1627 raffigurante Jacopone da Todi in estasi davanti al crocifisso.

(Translated by Google) Behind the Todi Cathedral is the beautiful Church of the Nunziatina, which is definitely worth a visit. Admission is €2, a price well worth the beauty of this Baroque-style church. It is completely decorated in various periods of the 17th century. (Original) Dietro il Duomo di Todi c'è la bellissima chiesa della Nunziatina, che merita assolutamente una visita. L'entrata è di 2 €, costo ripagato dalla bellezza di questa chiesa, in stile barocco. Completamente decorata in vari periodi del milleseicento.
