Palio dei Terzieri

A historical re-enactment in Città della Pieve, Perugia, Umbria. It is usually held in August.

Historical competition between the three districts with pageantry and medieval traditions.

We publish the month, not the dates: this one comes back every year and the comune sets the days. Confirm with sagritaly.com before you travel.
