Ok, so here is one of the cities that I traveled to, while taking the 100 cities class from Professor Ingersol. This trip was great, because we had microphones, so we could easily hear him talk while we could explore the city with our eyes a the same time.
I'm just going to show you a few images of the city, as we didn't spend a lot of time here, but here are a couple things that I found interesting.
Above is the mini metro designed by Jean Nouvel in 2000. Cute car!
I have a video of the metro moving, but I will post that up later.
Main street (corso) of Perugia
model of Perugia, when we were underneath the city
Some of the tunnels as we were walking underneath the city. It was pretty dark (obviously) and was previously used as a jail. It was overall pretty treacherous and gloomy, although I am surprised how tall the spaces are here.
City town hall. I love the stairs up this building. We spend a lot of time roaming around inside, which was a lot of fun, too.
Inside "court house" where decisions are made.
Some great vaulting on the first floor of the city hall (left).
We went to the museum on the upper floors and there were just a labyrinth of rooms (right)
