In the natural area surrounding the town are several Etruscan necropolises.

02. City walls and towers

The city walls, first with only square towers, to which round towers were later added, date back to the 14th century. The Torrione di Porta Romana has a bell from 1863. An older ring largely collapsed in the 1930s.

03. Roman city gate

The associated drawbridge is no longer there, but the ancient Roman gateway to the city can still be seen. This is part of a tower built in the 15th century.

04. Palazzo dei Priori

The Palazzo dei Priori used to be the seat of the city’s notables and still is, although it has been renamed Palazzo Comunale. It was partly built on the oldest city walls, which later collapsed. The tower first attached to it also toppled in 1930.
