Montefalco

Montefalco has functioned as a fortified hill town in Umbria since the Middle Ages. Set above the Valle Umbra between Perugia and Spoleto, it is widely known as the “Balcony of Umbria” for its broad outlook over the plain and the Apennine foothills. The town is closely associated with Sagrantino, the powerful red wine produced in the local DOCG zone, and with the former church of San Francesco, whose apse holds Benozzo Gozzoli’s 15th-century fresco cycle on the life of St Francis. Compact streets lead towards Piazza della Repubblica, the town’s civic centre. Browse other webcams across Umbria to place Montefalco in a wider geographic context.
