A beautiful town of treia

Treia is an enchanting hill town full of winding cobbled streets and ancient buildings. The centre of the town boasts a beautiful piazza – the site of many a summer concert or festive celebration, and Treia is surrounded by its carefully restored fortified walls – perched on the top of a hill with views for miles around.

Treia has been named one of the most beautiful villages in Italy, and its charm has been well preserved and well

 

restored over the years. With a population of just 9,700 people, it is an area of little or no unemployment, and very low crime.

Wherever you walk within the town, there are surprises - such as an ordinary door on a cobbled street which, when opened, reveals a tiny but stunning church. Or a glimpse of an ancient archway down a steep cobbled path.

 

 

During its annual festival, each night there is a  concert or spettacolo  in the main piazza of Treia where the people of the town congregate to enjoy anything from a Beatles tribute band to a flamenco demonstration!

The festival culminates with a parade, with adults and children alike dressing in brightly coloured costumes that represent one of the four quarters of the city.
