Here you can walk among poplars and weeping willows until you reach a small enchanted pond where families of swans and ducks swim peacefully. After a visit to the Sources of Clitunno, you can feel a sense of peace capable of eradicating all the stress and worries of everyday life.
If you love archaeology, a dip in history at the Archaeological Park of Carsulae
If you are fond of archaeology and Roman history, during a break in San Gemini you have to visit the Archaeological Park of Carsulae where you can experience the incredible thrill of walking among the remains of a Roman town that fell into disgrace.
Carsulae, in fact, after a period of splendour during the Roman Era was gradually abandoned during the Middle Ages, probably due to a strong earthquake, but it is still possible to admire the features of the Roman city.
Walking through the paths of Carsulae, you can admire the palaces dedicated to the government, the patrician houses with private baths and meeting places as the amphitheatre, the forum and the Gemini Temples.
