Spolète
An important fortified center of the Umbrians, it was a Roman colony and then a municipality (90 BC). After the fall of the Roman Empire it was garrisoned first by Theodoric, king of the Visigoths, and then by the Byzantine Belisarius. Conquered by Totila, it was rebuilt by the Byzantine Narses.
In the early medieval period it was the capital of the Lombard Duchy. In 1155 it was conquered and destroyed by Federico Barbarossa and, after a series of fights between Guelphs and Ghibellines, it was reconquered by Cardinal Albornoz who secured it for the Church and made it an important center of the Papal State.
The city's major monument is the Cathedral. Built in Romanesque style in the 12th century, the façade is adorned with a large Byzantine-style mosaic (1207). Inside there is a fresco with the Madonna and Saints by Pinturicchio, the bronze bust of Urban VIII by Bernini and an extraordinary cycle of frescoes by Filippo Lippi.

The Roman Theater was built in the second half of the 1st century BC. immediately inside the city walls, and remained in use until the 4th century. In Roman times a deep crack opened in the steps, perhaps due to an earthquake. During the Early Middle Ages, the church of S. Agata and the palace of the Corvi family were built on the scene. In 1320 four hundred Guelphs were locked up, and after two years killed, in the corridors of the theatre, used as a prison.
