San Gemini

Member of I Borghi più belli d'Italia

·

A Syrian monk, Gemine, gave his name to this Umbrian town on the old Via Flaminia, and his relics rest in its 12th-century church. Inside two rings of walls the main street winds in an S from gate to gate, and nearby springs supply the Sangemini mineral water. Each October the Giostra dell'Arme pits the horsemen of the two rioni against each other.

Highlights

  • Giostra dell'Arme, a joust on the first Sunday after 9 October
  • The church of San Gemine, with the patron saint's relics
  • Palazzo Vecchio, once the seat of the podestà and priors
  • San Giovanni Battista, with an inscription recording its founding in 1145
  • The Roman ruins of Carsulae on the Via Flaminia
