Holiday apartment in Civitella Benazzone: art, history and hiking trails

If you are looking for a holiday apartment in Civitella Benazzone, you will find cultural points of interest and routes that can be combined into different kinds of holiday days. A copy of the central panel of the Pala Oddi is kept in the village. It was created by Domenico Alfani in 1518. The Church of Sant'Andrea adds to this historical setting: it was restored in 1787, using materials from the demolished Church of San Biagio.

Art, churches and the history of the Castrum

The Castrum of Civitella Benazzone is first mentioned in connection with the donation of two small plots of land to the monastery of S. Maria Valdiponte in the mid-11th century. Through this donation, the monastery gained control of the castle and its holdings. As an attractive centre and important crossroads in the valley, the Castrum is therefore a notable historical point of reference for your stay.

Another special opportunity is provided by the crypt of Abbazia Celestina in Civitella Benazzone. It can be visited by prior arrangement. The Abazzia Montelabate monastery is also located in the area around Civitella Benazzone. Further afield in the region are Palazzo Gallenga, the Soprintendenza Beni Architett Museum and the Casa Museo di Palazzo Sorbello Museum. This allows culture enthusiasts to focus their stay on a range of historical and museum-related themes.

Hiking trails and landscape connections

There are also specific options for days spent on foot. A circular route between Casa del Diavolo, Morleschio and Civitella Benazzone runs entirely along paths and unpaved roads. The circular route leads to Monte Martello, where Civitella Benazzone is located. In addition, a hiking route runs from Solfagnano to Civitella Benazzone and back. This gives you a circular route and a route with a return journey as two different types of paths to choose from when planning.

The mountains of Monte Tezio and Monte Urbino are located in the area around Civitella Benazzone. Further afield in the region are the natural arches Arco dei Gigli and Mandorlàs Arch. Civitella Benazzone is one of the places in the area northeast of Perugia. These connections make a stay a blend of local history, routes and broader landscape destinations, without every day having to focus on the same theme.
