Torre degli Sciri

Torre degli Sciri is one of the few remaining medieval towers in Perugia, standing tall in the city's historic core. Built in the 13th century, it is a striking example of noble tower-house architecture. Visitors can climb the narrow staircase to the top, where a breathtaking 360-degree view of Perugia's red rooftops, the Umbrian valley, and distant mountains awaits. The tower is located in a quiet square, away from the main tourist crowds, providing a more intimate experience. Inside, there are small exhibits on the tower's history and medieval Perugia. The climb is steep but rewarding, and the view is especially magical at sunset. It's a must-visit for those seeking a unique perspective of the city.
