Perugia - Prefecture

Corso Vanucci, Perugia's main street, leads south from the Town Hall to the Piazza Italia, in which stands the Prefecture, built on the site of the Papal citadel, demolished in 1860. From the terrace on the south side there are magnificent views of the Umbrian plain, with Assisi, Spello, Foligno and Trevi, and of the Tiber valley.
