deruta tourism

Deruta is situated 15 kilometres south of Perugia on a hill that overlooks the valley of the Tiber; the new part extends along the Via Tiberina, parallel to the E-45 Road which goes towards Rome. Of the ancient castle remain some tracts of wall, the arches of the three doors to the city and the characteristic medieval streets which lead into the Piazza dei Consoli. At the Piazza is the Palazzo dei Consoli, today the town hall, whose 14th century tower is adorned by Romanesque mullioned windows. The town hall houses the ceramics museum, where beautiful local antique majolica are exhibited, and the picture gallery with priceless paintings of various periods.
