What are the most beautiful medieval borgos in Italy? The Italian borgos are something unique that is found in Italy, for quantity and quality. They are everywhere in every region, in the mountains and by the sea, in the plains and in the hills.

But what is a borgo? The borgo was a village born as the nerve center of local activities. It has a limited number of inhabitants (no more than six thousand) and has an architectural and natural heritage certified by the Superintendency of Archaeology, Fine Arts and Landscape.
In Italy there are about 289 borgos, an incredible heritage in which to rediscover local history and traditions (many of them, in fact, are UNESCO heritage). In each borgo there is a treasure to discover, a landscape to admire, a dish to taste accompanied by a good Italian wine.
It is very difficult to select the most beautiful one. We have chosen one for each region.
