Natale in Città – Villaggio di Natale e Mercatini
The historic center of Città di Castello lit up by the magic of Christmas
About Natale in Città
A widespread Christmas in the historic center
"Natale in Città" is the rich Christmas program of Città di Castello (province of Perugia), which for over a month transforms the historic center into a grand setting animated by lights, music, cultural initiatives, and activities for all ages. A widespread Christmas involving squares, streets, and historic buildings of the city.
Christmas Village, ice rink, and Santa's House
The heart of the event is the Christmas Village in Piazza delle Tabacchine, with markets hosting food and craft exhibitors, typical products, gift ideas, and decorations. In Piazza Matteotti, the ice-skating rink comes to life, while along Corso Vittorio Emanuele, children can visit Santa's House. There's no shortage of entertainment for children: baby dance, face painting, soap bubbles, and balloons.
Nativity art and tradition
Among the most beloved events is the International Nativity Scene Art Exhibition, set up in the Cathedral Crypt and open until January 6th. "Natale in Città" thus blends tradition, culture, and fun, offering residents and visitors an experience that enhances the charm of Città di Castello's historic center.
Natale in Città — edition 2026
The "Natale in Città" program will once again animate Città di Castello in December 2026, continuing until Epiphany. As tradition dictates, the Christmas Village with markets of typical products and crafts is expected in Piazza delle Tabacchine, the ice-skating rink in Piazza Matteotti, Santa's House along Corso Vittorio Emanuele, and entertainment for the little ones (baby dance, face painting, soap bubbles, balloons). Alongside these, the International Nativity Scene Art Exhibition in the Cathedral Crypt.
