Top pick for Todi
There are many great places to see in Todi, however, a few of the main sights not to be missed are the Cathedral – a beautiful gothic structure dating back to the 11th century and attracts many tourists annually. The Palazzo dei Priori is another sight worth visiting. Built in 1593, the Bishop’s Palace is located to the left of the cathedral, so is a good option to explore both places

The Chiesa di Santa Maria in Camucci is a Dominican monastery founded in 1394, it’s certainly worth a look-see for the stunning examples of wooden Madonna sculptures in Todi. 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.
