Anyway I've had a holiday in Perugia/Umbria.
Today will be some images from Perugia. The city is relatively small and I guess not so well known from a tourism perspective.....
Perugia is on a hill and my hotel at the bottom (which was handy for buses for day trips). Luckily it has a wonderful system of escalators which meant I was able to get into town in 8-9 minutes with literally no effort!
The views from up top are rather impressive.
This is the main door of Palazzo dei Priori. The door is magnificent as is the building. This door leads in to the Galleria Nazionale dell'Umbria. A stunning museum and a nice size as well!Other doors lead to the Sala dei Notari (the Lawyer's meeting Hall), the Collegio del Cambio (Guild of Moneychangers) and Il Collegio della Mercanzia (Merchant's guild). Definitely worth a visit.
The Duomo of San Rufino
Looking back at the Palazza dei Priori
Etruscan arch
The small building on the left is the Oratorio di San Bernardino. Well worth a visit.
The Piazza Italia (this is where the escalators emerge).
and in front of you from the escalator exit you see the Corsa Vannucci towards the Duomo.

Good light really benefits black and white - seems to emphasize the contrast.
Like the fountain in the Piazza especially.. and escalators were a real benefit :)
