Situated on top of a hill, Todi strategically dominates the Tiber-valley. Called Tular in ancient times, which literally means \u201cborder\u201d, the city was an important centre between the Etruscan and the Umbrian civilizations.<\/p>\n

The main monuments in the centre are the imposing gothic St Fortunato church and the Piazza del Popolo<\/strong>, ancient Roman forum with the underground Roman cisterns, and today\u2019s site of the romanesque cathedral and the medieval public palaces.<\/p>\n
