Umbria is particularly rich in natural assets, including both popular attractions (like the\u00a0Marmore falls<\/a><\/strong>) and hidden gems to discover. That is the case of the Sources of Clitunno, in Italian Fonti del Clitunno, which are beautiful\u00a0springs<\/strong>\u00a0located within a natural park in the lovely town of\u00a0Campello sul Clitunno<\/strong>, nestled between Spoleto and Foligno. If you\u2019re planning to go there for your next day trip, keep reading to find out more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Natural Park Of The Sources Of Clitunno<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The park, which covers approximately 10.000 square metres<\/strong>, includes the sources of the river Clitunno, a tributary of Topino. By gushing from the springs, the water creates a wonderful crystal-clear body of water<\/strong>, which is the right place to house several animal and plant species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along the way you can admire the magnificence of the willow trees, but also the elegance of the\u00a0swans<\/strong>, herons, and coots. You can also find ducks, gees, and other aquatic animals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other than being a real\u00a0gem of biodiversity<\/strong>, the Sources of Clitunno are a true idyllic place, whose view has enchanted and inspired poets\u00a0<\/strong>of the stature of Virgil, Pliny the Younger, Carducci, and Lord Byron. Specifically, the latter provides us with a wonderful description of the water of the river in the fourth book of \u201cChilde Harold\u2019s Pilgrimage<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Temple Of Clitunno<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Situated about one kilometer from the Sources of Clitunno, the temple of Clitunno is in all likelihood un\u00a0a Paleochristian place of worship<\/strong>\u00a0that dates back to the 4th or 5th century. However, its shape, which resembles a Corinthian temple, has raised some doubts about its origin. As a matter of fact, some historians believe that it is actually a Roman temple, while others consider that it belongs to the Lombard era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the\u00a0mystery associated with its origin<\/strong>, the temple of Clitunno is definitely a\u00a0must-see<\/em>\u00a0for park visitors, who appreciate its lovely appearance and the sculptures and inscriptions\u00a0<\/strong>that can be found inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allow yourself to be charmed by the magic of the Sources of Clitunno and the close temple: discover a little-known area of Umbria <\/a><\/strong>that will definitely be able to amaze you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
