Excursion to the Temple of St. Michael the Archangel, Perugia, Italy


Hello my dear friends of the Hive community, I hope you are having a wonderful day.

Today I will take you on a walk to what a year ago started to become the most eye-opening experience of my life, and it is about more of this journey that seemed to have no pause.

Back then, I set out to travel to Perugia on one of my days off as a volunteer and stayed there for 3 days. One of them I made an excursion to the Temple of St. Michelangelo, which was quite far from the city.

Why excursion? Well, because I went walking, of course! If there's one thing I love to do in a new place, it's to walk it, even if the distances are long, because that way I discover hidden corners, observe the small businesses and cross paths with the "more local" locals, who are either sitting on the sidewalks, or working around, or going about their lives in whatever way they can.

That's right... when playing tourist, most of the time I try to get away from the tourist attractions, redundancy aside.

I have to be honest though, and this time it wasn't too long a walk, hehe. With a lot of slope, but not extensive.

Excursión al Templo de San Miguel Arcángel, Perugia, Italia


Hola a mis queridos amigos de la comunidad de Hive, espero que estén pasando un día bellísimo.

Hoy los llevaré a pasear a lo que hace un año se empezó a convertir en la experiencia más reveladora de mi vida, y se trata de más de este viaje que parecía no tener pausa.

En aquel entonces, me dispuse a viajar hacia Perugia en uno de mis días libres como voluntaria y allí me quedé 3 días. Uno de ellos realicé una excursión al Templo de San Miguel Ángel, que se encontraba bastante alejado de la ciudad.

¿Por qué excursión? Pues porque me fui caminando, claro que sí! Si hay algo que amo hacer en un lugar nuevo, es recorrerlo a pie, aunque las distancias sean largas, porque así descubro rincones ocultos, observo los pequeños negocios y me cruzo con los locales “más locales”, que están o sentados en las veredas, o trabajando por ahí, o llevando a cabo sus vidas de la manera que sea.

Así es… al hacer de turista, la mayor parte de las veces intento escapar de las atracciones turísticas, valga la redundancia.

Igualmente debo serles honesta, y esta vez no era una caminata demasiado larga, jeje. Con mucha pendiente, pero no extensa.

That day in Perugia I woke up, looked at the map, and saw that something stood out on the side of the city. I zoomed in, and there I saw this Temple, whose images after clicking, somehow ensured a beautiful spot to visit. I did not hesitate for a second and went there. Later in the trip I would understand that many of the most beautiful places in Italy consist of these temples, sanctuaries or basilicas, which end up being attractive to all people, regardless of their religion.

This temple, it turns out, dates back to the late 5th century, making it the oldest church in Perugia. As soon as you arrive at the place, it literally gives the sensation that a light extends to the sides, and I don't think it's precisely because of a biblical and/or spiritual question, but the design of the temple, circular, with the rows of trees to the sides and the perfectly maintained removed pair, invite you to keep moving forward, while making you stop for moments to observe the wonder that surrounds you.

It was quite funny that when I arrived in front of the temple, I saw on the sides couples of teenage boys kissing, in a "secret" way.

Cuestión que aquel día en Perugia me levanté, miré el mapa, y vi que algo resaltaba bastante a un costado de la ciudad. Hice zoom, y allí se me presentaba este Templo, cuyas imágenes tras hacer click, de alguna manera aseguraban un bellísimo punto a conocer. No lo dudé ni un solo segundo y hacia allí fui. Más tarde en el viaje comprendería que muchos de los lugares más bonitos en Italia consisten en estos templos, santuarios o basílicas, que terminan siendo atractivos para todas las personas, sin importar su religión.

Resulta ser que este templo, data de finales del siglo V, lo que lo hace la iglesia más antigua de Perugia. Ni bien llegas al lugar, literalmente da la sensación de que una luz se extiende hacia los costados, y no creo que sea precisamente por una cuestión bíblica y/ o espiritual, sino que el diseño del templo, circular, con las filas de árboles hacia los costados y el par quitado perfectamente mantenido, te invitan a seguir avanzando, mientras te hacen detener por momentos a observar la maravilla que te rodea.

Fue bastante gracioso que al llegar frente al templo, vi a los costados parejas de chicos adolescentes besándose, de manera como “secreta”.

The interior of the temple is beautiful, but it is in the video I have shared, because for some reason I only filmed and did not take pictures.

After this, I went through the Etruscan Arch, a beautiful space but simply inviting to walk through it, and then I went towards Via Cesareo Battisti, where I enjoyed a beautiful panoramic view of the city of Perugia.

El interior del templo es precioso, pero está en el video que he compartido, debido a que por algún motivo solo filmé y no saqué fotos.

Después de esto, pasé por el Arco Etrusco, un espacio bellísimo pero que simplemente invitaba a transitarlo, y luego fui hacia la Vía Cesáreo Battisti, donde disfruté de una vista panorámica preciosa de la ciudad de Perugia.

Just the area where I arrived was full of people who, like me, were taking pictures of the scenery and taking pictures of themselves.

This area of the city, and Perugia in general, is quite compact. However, although the distances are not too long, there is a lot of slope, really very steep. And you can imagine that this sector is yes, given the view it offers.

But it was worth it. The old city of Perugia stretches out mistress your view from there, with its elegance and trajectory.

This was my outing that day, through that beautiful Italian city!

Justo el área a la que llegué estaba repleta de gente que igual que yo, aprovechaba para tomar fotos al paisaje y tomarse fotos ellos mismos.

Esta zona de la ciudad, y en general Perugia, es bastante compacta. Sin embargo, aunque las distancias no son demasiado largas, hay mucha pendiente, realmente muy pronunciada. Y podrán imaginarse que este sector es sí, dado la vista que ofrece.

Pero valió la pena. La vieja ciudad de Perugia se extiende amante tu vista desde allí, con su elegancia y trayectoria.

Esta fue mi salida aquel día, por esa bella ciudad italiana!


I hope you like it!

I send you love and a big hug!

With love,

@belug

Espero que les guste!!

Les envío cariños y un fuerte abrazo!

Con cariño,
