Pietralunga is a town in the Province of Perugia, in the �������� region Umbria. The old heart of the town has preserved its fascinating atmosphere of a medieval village encircled by walls, with its characteristic narrow streets, gathered around the ruins of the Rocca Longobarda, an old Lombard fortress built in about the 8th century. The Pietralunga area is crossed by various stretches of ancient Roman roads: the most important is the diverticulum, which linked upper Umbria (Città di Castello, Gubbio and Perugia), through Pietralunga, with the Flaminian Way near Cagli. A must for tourists is the beautiful Candeleto complex, a large structure surrounded by greenery, with facilities for camping, refreshment and relaxing. Also in Candeleto is the Natural History Museum, which has an important bird collection: the museum, together with the Candeleto Oasis, rounds off an interesting tourist itinerary.
