Città di Castello is without a doubt the least “Umbrian” of all Umbrian cities.
Its geographical position and Renaissance character, distinguishes itself very clearly from the other towns which are mostly Medieval and perched on high ground.

Being the main centre of the Upper Tiber Valley, it enjoys a very pleasant climate and it is surrounded by many artistic and historic sites and also by small medieval boroughs such as Morra, Monte Santa Maria Tiberina, Montone, Citerna and Anghiari.

The city is known for its excellent cuisine based on woodland delicacies, such as wild mushrooms and truffles.
Since its inception the Festival delle Nazioni through its prestigious musical events has contributed to enhance the historic and artistic heritage of Città di Castello and its surroundings, where the intense religious life and the breathtaking views are part of everyday’s life.

The concerts take place in several towns of the Upper Tiber Valley, giving the spectators the opportunity to discover suggestive boroughs, historical centres and fascinating sceneries: the Gothic church of San Domenico, the outstanding gardens of Palazzo Vitelli alla Cannoniera, the new municipal Auditorium of San Antonio, the fine Renaissance facades of the mansions surrounding Piazza Fanti and the historic “Teatro degli Illuminati”in Città di Castello; the courtyard of the imposing Castello Bufalini in San Giustino, the charming Oratory of San Crescentino in Morra, that treasures frescoes of Signorelli, the inspiring churches of San Francesco in Citerna and Montone, the elegant Auditorium of Santa Chiara in Sansepolcro and the ancient thermal baths of Fontecchio.
