municipality
Amelia‘s appeal must have spanned the millennia intact if-as reported by Pliny the Elder-Cato the Censor wrote of it in his Origines as a city founded in 1134 B.C., “963 years before the war of the Romans against the Macedonian king Perseus” that is, before Rome.
origins
Tradition aside, the importance of this city is attested to: by the Via Amerina; by its imposing megalithic and polygonal walls; by those families who, between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, went on to design the splendid architectural complex to which we now give the name of Amelia.

what to see
What to see in Amelia, and what to discover in its territory? There are so many possible answers: retracing its history starting from the walls and then continuing to the civic museum; discovering its Renaissance palaces or churches and abbeys; leaving the historic center to reach the hamlets, or setting out along the Amerini Paths.
Amelia is discovered as she leafs through her places: page after page.
territory
The historic center is only a small part of the wonders of Amelia, the territory that unravels around the city offers the cue to discover castles, villages and authentic places that stretch into the Amerino, or marked trails to enjoy on foot and by bike in the Amerini mountains.

Culture, history, food and wine, and tradition: several events recur throughout the year.
For one weekend in mid-June, Cyclopica, Giants in the Hills a festival of literature, art and philosophy takes place.
One of the most heartfelt events is the Palio dei Colombi medieval challenge that brings Amelia back into the atmosphere of the Middle Ages, for two weeks from late July to early August.
