todi

umbria italy

Todi (Latin name, Tuder, and Umbro-Etruscan name, Tutere) has, by heraldic right, the title of city and today it has about 17,000 inhabitants. Todi developed in three successive periods, pre-Roman, Roman and medieval, each of which built a circular wall. The first wall which still exists in some points of the city was built with huge travertine blocks, placed on top of one another in a very ordered fashion without any cementing mortar. The last wall, dated 1244 in the chronicles, is mostly intact, and runs about four kilometers and has towers and three gates (Roman, Amerina and Perugina).
