Rasiglia, a picturesque village located in the heart of Umbria, is renowned for its charming waterways and historic architecture. Dubbed the "Little Venice" of Umbria, its intricate network of streams and canals once powered the village's mills and served as a vital lifeline for its inhabitants.
From the moment you step into this beautiful town, it’s as if you’ve traveled back to the Middle Ages, where centuries-old stone homes and buildings stand as silent witnesses to the passage of time.
Rasiglia makes an excellent additional destination if you're touring Umbria at large. The village is located less than 50 km from Perugia.
Although Rasiglia's permanent population has dwindled, it's still a photogenic gem where you can experience the laidback pace of the Italian countryside. The town's main features include its gorgeous waterways that are fed by the Menotre River and the Capovena Spring. Walking around gives you a unique view of small canals, water basins, streams, and small waterfalls that caress the village's stone buildings and houses. Since Rasiglia's beginnings in the 12th century, the canals helped provide water to the local mills, including ones for wheat and wool.
