Piazza del Duomo

This square is the heart of the town; it is adorned by the "Fontana del Nettuno" (Fountain of Neptune), and is surrounded by buildings of noble character. The southern side is flanked by the "Duomo" (cathedral); to the east we find the twelfth-century "Palazzo Pretorio", a building with mullioned windows which houses the diocesan museum (an excavation site is being opened in front of it, to unearth Porta Veronese and catalogue Roman findings). This is followed by the tower "Torre Civica", situated to the north-east of the two Cazuffi houses, decorated by frescoes of the artist Fogliolino and by a small fountain, "Fontana dell'Aquila".
