Todi is a picturesque town placed in a high position dominating the valley of river Tevere, in a zone at the border with the ancient territory of the Etruschi, of which it suffered the domination.

Todi succeeded in maintaining an extraordinary urban and historical integrity: the different epoches are perfectly amalgamated, recreating, in the ancient suburb, a very peculiar atmosphere. Since the high medioevo, when the city was all within the ancient etrusco-Roman walls, its urbanistic fabric was regulated by the course of the three main roads that crossed one another in the urban center: the Amerina Road, the Ulpiana Road and the Orvietana Road.

Piazza del Popolo has always been the center of the city life as well as a jewel of architecture and urbanism. Situated in the highest part of the hill, on the place of the ancient Roman "Foro", is one of the most beautiful medieval squares of Italy. It's sourrounded by the Palazzo dei Priori, the famous buildings del Popolo and del Capitano, which together form the Palazzo Comunale, and the Cathedral.

Palazzo dei Priori, initiated in 1293 and finished in 1337, with crowning in "merli" and trapezoidal tower, was the residence of the judges of the municipality and then the one of the pontifical governors.

Palazzo del Popolo is one of the most ancient town buildings of italia, erect in Gothic-lombardo style in 1213 and widened 1233. The building is linked, through an external staircase, to the Palazzo del Capitano, built in the latest years of 1200: it also has a parvis terrestrial and splendid Gothic trifore cuspidate. The building is the seat of the Pinacoteca civica and of the etrusco-Roman Museum. The Pinacoteca conserves ceramics works, jewellery works and paintings of the so-called "scuola umbra".

Il Duomo (The Cathedral) was initiated in the XII century in Romanesque forms by the masters comacini and completed between the XIII and the XVI century in Gothic style. On another stairway the rectangular façade raises up with three ogivalis portals opened on it. The inside is the "basilicale" type with three aisles. On the wall of entrance there's a big fresco about the Universal Judgment while others valuable pictorial works and sculptures are attributed to the artist Spagna and to Andrea Pisano.
