Via Mezzaterra Site Features

The frescoed houses

Sixteenth-century exterior painting surviving in numbers, which is very rare. The reason to walk the street slowly.

The climb

The street rises the length of the ridge from gate to square, so the town unfolds as you go.

The arcades

Sheltered stretches with shops, and where the town's ordinary life happens.

Porta Imperiale

The gate closing the lower end, and the natural starting point for the walk up.
