Umbria's principal city, Perugia, was founded in the 9th century BC and conquered by the Romans in 295 BC. Its long history can be seen in the incredible variety of architecture here, ranging from Etruscan ruins to the old city walls, medieval palaces and Renaissance churches. The excellent Archaeological museum and the Palazzo dei Priori are both worth a stop. Assisi, home of St. Francis, is another must-see town in Umbria. It's best known for its religious monuments, including St. Francis' Basilica, the Basilica di Santa Clara and the Basilica di Santa Maria degli Angeli, though perhaps the most memorable thing about the town is the view of it from afar. Assisi is perched on the slope of Mt. Subasio, and its glorious marble buildings beautifully reflect the sunlight. The scope of this short guide is too narrow to include all the towns of Umbria, but other places worth a visit are Spoleto, Orvieto, Gubbio, Todi, Spello and Terni. In each of these villages you'll find museums, ornate churches and rambling historic centers perfect for getting lost in.

In accord with the multilateral agreement, CAREC was established for a 10-year period beginning on 1 January 1975.

In 1967, field activities were concentrated at Turure Forest near Sangre Grande. Many viruses were recovered from this area. The laboratory also provided training to research workers and technicians who came from different parts of the world on Rockefeller Foundation or World Health Organization fellowships.
