The Spoleto Roman amphitheater (1st century AD) is one of its most famous architectural structures. Its ancient marble floor is one of few remaining in the world. The whole theatre was buried for a long time with medieval structures of a church and convent, but in 1954 was uncovered.
On the far left of this picture was where our hotel was located. We hiked from there to across this aqueduct one morning before lunch. Our last day here we walked to the castle, Rocca Albornoziana, built in 1359–1370,that houses a very interesting museum containing ancient sarcophages and has many beautiful frescoes.
Walking back each night after dinner to the Palazzo Leti, this was the last corner we turned. I found myself drawn to this intersection each time we walked by here, and I tried to capture with my camera what caught my eye.
Spoleto is an intriguing place, and it is a great city for walking. We could walk to wherever we wanted to go. We loved all of its Roman architecture still remaining. There are some excellent restaurants and we enjoyed delicious meals here during our three night stay.
On a morning walk in Spoleto, I paused to photograph this alley. I loved the mixture of weathered stones along the pathway.
Yes, I wish I was back here right now. Captured this shot while walking over the Arno River bridge heading back to our hotel after a wonderful dinner our last night in Florence. May 2011
