Montefalco is a delightful town in the province of Perugia, Umbria, built on an outcrop of the Colli Martani above the Clitunno river, some 9km northwest of Trevi. The town has been actively settled since the times of the Umbri and has been ruled by the Romans and the Lombards. In 1249 it was sacked by Frederick II, but was soon rebuilt with the modern name.
Montefalco has several churches, some in the Romanesque, some in the Gothic and some in the Renaissance style. Historically, the most important is the church of San Francesco, which now doubles as the museum, and, given its collection of art and artifacts, considered one of the most important museums in Umbria.
The 13th centuy Palazzo Comunale ("Town Hall") has a mullioned window from the original edifice and a 15th century portal.
