The Rocca Paolina was a Renaissance fortress in Perugia, built in 1540-1543 for pope Paul III to designs by Antonio da Sangallo the Younger. He destroyed a large number of Etruscan, Roman and medieval buildings.
It turned the former streets of the historic city centre into underground passageways.
Perugia has become famous for chocolate, mostly because of a single firm, Perugina, whose Baci ("kisses" in English) are widely exported.
Perugian chocolate is very popular in Italy.
