Things to see in Narni

Narni is a city and hill town in the south of the Italian region of Umbria. It lays claim to being the geographical center of Italy, although this claim is also made by nearby Rieti. It rose to importance in ancient Roman times by being on the Via Flaminia, the road that traversed the Apennine Mountains from Rome to Rimini (Ariminum) on the Adriatic coast. In Roman times, the city was known as Narnia, but it's not certain that this is where C.S. Lewis got the name for his Chronicles of Narnia from.

Bridge of Augustus (Ponte d'Augusto). This ruined bridge is believed to be the largest Roman bridge ever constructed. It was built to carry the Via Flaminia 30m over the River Nera. About half of it remains. City Museum in Palazzo Eroli (Museo della città di Narni). The museum's logo has attracted considerable attention from design enthusiasts, combining an M for museum, and an E for Eroli into what appears to be a bridge. Underground Narni. The city has several interesting underground sites, including a medieval cistern, a Roman aqueduct, and lower areas of churches. Organized tours are offered. Church of Santa Maria Impensole. Constructed over an ancient Roman Temple. Notables medieval frescoes and sculptural stone decorations Albornoz' Castle.
