Spello combines its medieval character, with winding alleys and ancient stone houses, with numerous vestiges of the Roman era, such as the city walls, along whose course the still well-preserved gates opened, the remains of the theater, amphitheater and baths. The town is still surrounded by walls, erected in 1360 incorporating part of the Roman city wall and three splendid gates: the Consular gate (1st century B.C.), the Urbica gate (or St. Ventura gate) and the Venus gate of the Augustan age, built in the shape of a triumphal arch, with the two so-called Propertius towers on either side, with a dodecagonal plan.

Notable among religious buildings is the church of Santa Maria Maggiore (12th-13th century), with great art treasures inside.

In addition to the Town Hall, Palazzo Baglioni (1358), Palazzo dei Canonici, home of the Picture Gallery, and the church of San Lorenzo (12th century) are worth visiting
