One is treated to an overview of historical milestones while moving in the direction of the city centre.

It seems to go back in the Medieval Era; passages, streets, arches are perfectly preserved. It is a place very unusal and you can easily visit it with mobile stairs.

I was truly amazed by the extent of the underground streets and passageways under the city. I had been to the Archeological Museum and came up to the old city via a series of escalators into the cavernous spaces of the Rocca. This is not something that you should miss.

This place has a very interesting historic background and it's no wonder it is one of the city's main attractions.

We stayed at the Hotel Brufani Palace Hotel and the entrance to Rocca Paolina was right across the street from the hotel. The Rocca Paolina was a pleasant experience, a cool place to wander around on a hot summer day. Take the escalators up and down and explore the whole "underground city" everything is clean and well maintained!

Park your car at the Partigiani parking space. Right near the parking starts a series of escalators that end at the old Perugia. During your climb you'll enter Rocca Paolina, an underground city, with winding streets. Its also interesting to read about the history of this place.

Must go when you're visiting Perugia. Located in the city center.

Take the escalators up..and you net the Rocca...absolutely wonderful..takes you back to the a tie when men were running to the wall..bringing ammunition, food and support to the troops firing at the attackers below.
