The street, being famous for being the main shopping one in the historic center, is mainly pedestrian, so get ready to have fun around while buying souvenir or great deals.

If you are in love with Villas, then you have to go to the Villa Giunigi’s museum. It is inside a XV Century villa and it is located near the east walls. Inside you can see both artifacts and artworks from prehistoric times through the XVII Century. You can also find a very large collection of local Romanesque, Gothic, and Renaissance art.
Roman art fans can also visit the Piazza dell’Anfiteatro, the oval shaped square, which used to be the site of a Roman amphitheater. You can still see parts of the original oval ground-plan as well the and outer ring.
