Vitorchiano

<< BACK

To the Centre, one of the most characteristic of the Viterbese Tuscia, you acceed through the only gate (Porta Romana) opening in the town-wall.The scenography designed by the narrow spaces faced by the stone-walled house, often preceded by profferli (external stairs), has no comparison. The Palazzo Comunale, the spindle-shaped fountain, the former convent of S. Agnese, the church of Santa Maria Assunta are the reference-points of a walk into the Middle Ages, which takes advantage of the insuperable Belvedere at the end of the Via S. Maria.
