About
The "Village of Streams" is also known as this medieval mountain town.
Medieval Rasiglia is a village dating back to the 13th century, tucked away among the green hills of Umbria. While the centuries-old stone homes and buildings appear as though they’re frozen in time, the town is constantly in motion; small streams rush through the village, looping around centuries-old homes and stone buildings. The streams, fed by the Menotre tributary, weave through the village, forming torrents, basins, and small waterfalls. During the 16th century, they powered the town’s mill, wool and dyeing factory, and wash-houses. After the mill and factories shuttered, many abandoned Rasiglia for the closest city, but a few residents live in this medieval village today.
