Considered one of the most beautiful medieval towns, only 20 km from the Abbazia Collemedio, Todi is surely one of the most well-known cities in Umbria.
The historic center is full of small masterpieces to discover, even in a short excursion, given the proximity to the Relais. For example, a few steps away from Piazza del Popolo, there is the Church of San Fortunato, which houses the relics of the poet Jacopone da Todi, considered among the leading poets of the Italian Middle Ages.
Under the Piazza del Popolo, there are also Cisterns built in Roman times to collect rain water. It is estimated that the city's rich underground heritage is made up of over 5 kilometers of tunnels and galleries, more than 30 cisterns (pre-Romanesque, Roman and medieval) and even 500 wells.
