The square embellished by the cathedral facade is simply mesmerizing ! The center point of Spoleto with Pinturicchio and Filippino Lippi frescoes nested in a late romanic architecture with a 15th century colonnade that add to its gravitas. Spectaculat, imposing, magnificent !

There are two audio guides available. The first audio guide has one headphone set and is immediately visible upon the right hand side after entry into the church. The second audio guide is at the rear of the building on the left hand side and it has two headphone sets. There are multiple languages to choose from. Cost is €2 for six or so theee to five minute discussion guides on versions aspects of the church, its history and people. Highly recommend listening to the guide. A lot of information condensed into a short time frame. Of particular interest was the geopolitics and the historical involvement with the Medicis. Bring €0.50 to pay for the lights at various sections of the church. It will not accept smaller cents or €1 or €2. If you do not have €0.50, the cashier in the bookstore will gladly make you change. Here there is a letter from St Francis to St Leo which is on the left hand side of the church in an obscure corner of the back room which requires €0.50 to brighten the room. In this room is also a skull and legno painted Sybil’s and saints. Another highlight is Papa Giovanni Paolo in the right back corner which again can be more visible with the 0.50. Bookstore lacks statues of the holy family and saints, holy water, and religious relics which are available at most other churches throughout Italy. This was disappointing. I visit many churches and collect onomasticos for my family and friends. I was hoping to get the baby Michele and raffe for my cousins grandchildren at this visit. I like to think a lady can never own too many shoes, dresses or holy relics. I left this cathedral without spending the money which I normally spend in a church but I will gladly give my money to another church in the area. Definitely worth a visit. Estimated Time required: 1.30-2 hours

Famous little Umbrian town Famous for "Don Matteo" - Mario Girotti's TV show Wondeful square in front of church Beautiful church

Beautiful Cathedral. So very interesting. The painting by Filippino Lippi, is of course stunning. It draws you in the more you look. The atmosphere is very tranquil. We went up the 147 (I think ) steps to the bell tower, it was worth the climb to see the view.

Like all the big churches in Italy, you will be amazed at the art work throughout the building.

This cathedral with a square in front can be reached by going up an elevators set up, not far from a parking lot in Spoleto outskirts. Like many churches across Italy, this is a splendid Romanesque building very much worth a visit not only for prayer and worship. Inside there are magnificent works of art with various paintings, including frescoes by Pinturicchio, mosaics and more.

A truly amazing cathedral with wonderful art and views

Were there twice but I suck at timing, closed. Anyway you should think wow, this is in good shape. It was reconstructed and they still use it for concert. But the final point is, that Romans build it 2000 years ago and all we did is added a little cement and as good as new 🤫

Well preserved Roman theatre. A testimony to the ancient Roman character of Spoleto. It was closed when I was there but actually it didn't seem like anything special considering we are in Italy and these things are everywhere. There is limited pay parking on the street nearby. It's a good location to start exploring the city. Parking was 1.50 euro per hour. No car access from 00:00 to 11:00.

Over half of it was rebuilt with modern cement, which is tragic for a 2000 years old construction. Not just that, but when we went there for the visit, there was a 'modern' band making unrecognizable very, very loud noises and we couldn't visit the little that was left untouched by the modern homo sapiens of this century.

The teatro is nice, the museum was just ok, but only 4 euro so not bad.

Nice experience. A tranquil place to admire, with its halls as the most authentic part of the theater.

One of the gems of Spoleto well worth a visit. The theatre is an excellent example of Roman architecture. The climb up to the centre is quite steep but I would recommend using the escalators which can be found at the back of the town centre near the public parking lot. Be sure to visit the cathedral and the bridge for some exceptional views of the valley below.

To get the best view you have to visit the museum. From the piazza above, you cannot really see much

Fun place to explore. The grounds have spectacular views.

Spoleto is a great city, they make the tourist sites so accessible by providing escalator and moving walkways. We parked at the lower city parking garage and took the escalator to the major sites, then to the base of the Rocca, enjoying not only the interesting courtyards and frescoes, but the Roman aqueduct and the impressive sweeping views of the valley and the town.

Beautiful place and views. Never expected to find these amazing building. Love it. Thankful for the electric stairs. Each corner is a new surprise.

Wonderful place to explore. Rich in history. Much about Pope's summer home and a favorite place of Michelangelo. Long walk up if you don't see where the escalator is.

Beautiful fortress on top of Spoleto to visit. You can come to it by the walking escalators and elevator from the train station. The part I like is the ring road around the fortress. You get a panoramic view of the old city below and the view of the valley on the other side. Before the earthquake a few years ago, you could walk along the Roman aquiduct near the fortress. The Italians love to take strolls and chat along the ring road.

Outstanding collection contained within the impressive fortress. Great vistas over Spoleto and the surrounding region. Highlights of the collection include works by such masters as Nicolo di Liberatore -l’Alunno, Maestro di Cesi along with the spectacular late-14th century fresco cycles depicting scenes of courtly love and knightly adventures in the Camera Pinta and the Sala d’Onore.

Imposing late mediaeval fortress overlooking Spoleto

What a beautiful place to walk during the day or night! There is a little bar/ Cafe not far from the entrance to the Rocca. The café has a great view to the valley. Also.. there are escalators and also the underground people mover if you want to save yourself some steps uphill.

Beautiful view. The bridge is amazing and ancient, about 80mt high with two towers on the side. This is also called the " Bridge of suicides". Unfortunately is closed after the sismic movements of the last years and you cannot cross it. Nevertheless absolutely worth a visit.

Pretty bridge and surroundings. Leave after the top escalator and walk around the mountain to get her most easily.

Ponte delle torri is a very strong robust structure which withstood all the tests of time. Right from the times of Romans. And you can see that it is still looking as strong and as valid today as it must have been then. Although it is not in use but it is fully functional even today.

the bridge is closed so can't across to the other part. Is it nice ? yes it is but we don't go there just to have the possibility to take a photo which we can find in the Internet , we need more, However it still deserve a visit.

Nice walk over the bridge and nice view from the fortress

Spoleto, and it's old aqueduct, is really worth a visit. It's very easy to get around and, especially during a sunny winter's day, the view on the surrounding mountains and the valley is amazing. Right now (December 2018) the aqueduct, which is also a bridge, cannot be crossed.

Probably the southest tower from Tuscany in Umbria, 😛 for more you need to visit San Gimignano.

One walks by without even noticing it. Useless site only good for historical knowledge

Nice place to see

Beautiful tower !!

bellisimo

Beautiful

Walked here in Sept 24. Very closed, scaffolding and looks to be being renovated.

Very historic place, full of atmosphere

Nice place for meetings and seminars.

(Translated by Google) The former Gothic church of San Nicolò was built in 1304 together with the Augustinian monastery, one of the major centers of culture in the city of Spoleto until the 17th century. In 1767 it was abandoned by the monks due to the earthquake and over the years used for different purposes. Currently, thanks to the recent restoration, it has been used for conference and exhibition purposes.

Attualmente, grazie al recente restauro, è stato adibito ad uso congressuale ed espositivo.

I think this is one of the most beautiful churches in Spoleto. I’m not much for the baroque style of churches but prefer this one, which is more gothic or Romanesque. It is simple, very old, yet spectacular. Especially down in the crypt. Don’t miss this church when in Spoleto. A must see.

Beautiful interior with a wide range of interesting frescoes.

A quiet space to enjoy the peace.

Nice place

Must stop by this church when in Spoleto.

Truly a special little restaurant. I'm a food and wine guide in Rome but love to come to these small towns to have a little variance in my diet. The food here is cooked with love and care. Fresh herbs decorate the cooking space and you can see the family team making the food in their little kitchen. It feels like being in someone's home. It was a cold night but the restaurant was cozy, just a few tables, and everyone that came in seemed to be known by the family owners. Beautifully decorated and lovely staff. The food was very, very good.

Honestly, one of the best dining experiences of my life. The restaurant had a small quirky interior, the friendliest staff ever and food that was out of this world... We ended up with a table on a mezzanine, almost like our own private dining room overlooking the rest of the venue! It was also a bargain considering how great the food was. A high point was when one of the customers, obviously a friend of the proprietors, started playing the piano beautifully. Would go back again in a shot. Amazing. They also offered us complimentary amaro at the end and lovely meaningful chats.

Cosy place, full of happy and friendly people. I have a nice time there.

If you want to have a nice lunch in a small bistro at a very reasonable price with good service in a nice and fun atmosphere you definitely should go to Al 3.0 in Spoleto

Great place, great people, great food, great wine... highly recommended!

It was a holiday and they were very busy, so maybe it was just an off-day, but for us the food was disappointing. Tagliere was overwhelmingly meat heavy with no preserves, olives, fruits, or other sides, and no description of the meats or cheese was provided by the waiter. The strangozzi con porcini were undercooked and while the flavor was good, there were almost no mushrooms in it. Service was also super slow, but again, it was a holiday and the server was still very nice. Maybe you’ll have a better experience!

Amazing little bistro which as soon as you enter feels like you're in a different world. Many different beers, wines and champagnes to taste. A variety of foods from sharing platters to salad and soup. Valentina does a great job serving everybody on her own and making you feel special and providing an individual service to your needs. A must visit in Spoleto.

4.4/5 (5/5 food; 3/5 service; 5/5 atmosphere). Was attracted to this place thanks to the michelin guide. We came for dinner with my wife. Whilst it started off quite awkwardly, it did get better thanks to the food. We came in twice into the restaurant - first we thiught maybe it was closed, nobody was there, no staff or people. So we walked around came back and still no one there but it was already 8pm. We walked all the way in the kitchen, where we met the chef! Who then said someone body would meet us till finally staff came and mentioned that we should have gone through the other way...anway not a great start. We opted to sit inside where aircon was on as it was super hot, and so did a few other guests later on. We ordered and absolutely the food was great. Good ingredients, including the amuse bouche. Each plate was certainly carefully thought through and presented, including the desert. The wine list was extensive and including a good variety. Although again service was awkward - i asked for the difference between 2 bottles (the years were very different) the waiter mentioned she would call the sommelier, who then came and blurted out just the 2 years. No explanation - just said the 2 years as if those were the only ones available. As we already had an awkward encounter i just picked one. I could hear then inside the kitchen, the waiter yelling at the sommelier saying that I wanted an explanation...anyway the wine was delicious. Waiting time is extremely long. We came in at 8 and left at 11pm (2 appetizers 2 mains and 2 deserts), but prices were very fair Atmosphere was good! The inside was well decorated, beautiful interiore and included an beautiful patio in case people wanted to stay outside. Despite awkward service we had a great night!

The restaurant is beautifully decorated, with a warm and inviting atmosphere. The food? Simply amazing! Every dish is presented with such care—it’s a feast for the eyes as much as the palate. From the very first bite of the crusted cod to the last, it was nothing short of WOW. A truly memorable dining experience.

Very good restaurant! The food was very tasty and the plates were so beautiful. The service was great and the waiters were very kind. It’s definitely worth a visit if you come to Spoleto. We recommend the chocolate sphere for the dessert, it was super good!

Excellent restaurant with great value. For superb three course menu and very good wine we paid 135 euro. Top service and beautiful ambiente. I was here with my wife on a saturday evening.

Delicious, beautifully presented food brought by a dynamic staff which ensures impeccable service. The decor and setting makes it an even more lovely experience. The food was outstandingly crafted, and the fillet of beef especially was unforgettably good.

Amazing food experience. Chef Giuseppe and his lovely wife Gloria, supported by a dynamic and high level staff, are able to mix flavours and tastes from alla across Italy into fabulous creations definitely deserving the chance to pay this restaurant a visit. Apollinaire provides a great ratio between food quality and price. We enjoyed the generous wine choice and the quality ofte service provided. If planning to visit Spoleto, this restaurant is a must do!

Great food Fantastic service Excellent plate appearance Wish the music was Italian for more local vibe ;)

The restaurant is located in a popular point. The food tastes good as usual, nothing special though. However, it is a bit expensive. Service is friendly and professional. I felt that the food was little less in amount.

Excellent service, good menu with so many options, sea salad and sea bass where so delicious , one hiden gem on Spoleto Inside area has a beautiful view of the roman amphitheater, love it !

Great food, nice atmosphere and friendly staff. The Vegetarian Antipasti is just wonderful. Also the Risotto with Taleggio & Truffle - culinary heaven.

Good food and service and a great location the only problem is that the portions are a bit small, still a 5/5

Excellent restaurant. Good food and welcoming host. Particularly strong on seafood, which is rare in this town. I'd have gone back the following night if they'd been open.

I asked for a dessert, there was nothing visible in the bar except for chocolates so the owner offered a 'tiramisu'. Great I accepted but got nothing of the sort. I was unfortunately served whipped cream from a spray can with milk chocolate powder on top. The owner couldn't care less.

Had excellent truffle risotto and caprese salad. Attentive staff

This is a great family place. Many food options.

This is a very family/ teenage friends restaurant. Seating is outside. Food is good.

Great meat and wonderful ambiance. Best place in Spoleto

(Translated by Google) Local meeting place restaurant pizzeria self service and everything else all together; brilliant idea in the center of Spoleto. A continuous coming and going of people who come in to drink or eat or do both; many small islands each offering something good for a fee. We ate fried food and good pinsa with red draft beer. All in the midst of many boys and girls in total tranquility. (Original) Locale ritrovo ristorante pizzeria self service e quant'altro tutto assieme; idea geniale nel centro di Spoleto. Un via vai continuo di persone che entrano per bere o per mangiare o fare entrambe le cose; tante piccole isole ognuna che offre a pagamento qualcosa di buono.
