Nocera Umbra

Member of I Borghi più belli d'Italia

Roman Nuceria Camellaria grew up on the Via Flaminia, and its hilltop successor at 520 metres became famous for its spring water, shipped as far as Constantinople in the 17th century. The 1997 earthquake emptied the medieval centre, and restoration ran for almost twenty years. Above the rooftops rises the rebuilt Campanaccio, the tower left from the old fortress where the Trinci were massacred in 1421.
