Chiesa di Santa Maria in Camuccia
While you might walk past this fairly nondescript church, we are here to let you in on the little secret that lies below the Chiesa di Santa Maria in Camuccia. A Dominican monastery founded in 1394, it’s certainly worth a look-see for the stunning examples of wooden Madonna sculptures. However, the lead archaeologist, Carlo Zoccoli, has offered to give our readers a private tour under the church, where an archaeological treasure trove awaits. Sift through an ever-growing collection of pottery shards or walk through ancient roads, burial chambers and houses, much of it dating back to Roman times.

Piazza del Popolo
Just try to walk through the Piazza del Popolo without feeling compelled to sit on medieval building steps and write a postcard home. This town centre is one of the most renowned squares in all of Italy. Its lugubrious medieval cathedral and buildings cradle the interior piazza, enclosed with four gates during the medieval years but now filled with bustling shops, cappuccino-sipping residents and travellers gazing in wonder at living history.

Chiesa di Santa Maria della Consolazione
The postcard home you’ve just written from the Piazza del Popolo? Most likely it’s of Todi’s famed church, the late-Renaissance masterpiece Chiesa di Santa Maria della Consolazione, considered a veritable modern feat in architecture. Inside, fans can admire its geometrically perfect Greek cross design and outside, its soaring cupola-topped dome from 10km away.

Tempio di San Fortunato
The lofty Tempio di San Fortunato has frescoes by Masolino da Panicale, and the tomb of Beato Jacopone, Todi’s beloved patron saint. Inside, make it a point to climb the Campanile di San Fortunato, where one of the best views of the hills and castles surrounding Todi awaits.

Ab Ovo Gallery
One of the more unusual art galleries in Todi, Ab Ovo looks forward rather than back in time. Museum-quality applied art – from jewellery to blown glass – adorns the modern space. Guest artists rotate about every two months, so check in for art openings and special events (open to the public).
