The heritage

Two thousand years in two kilometres

In the medieval quarter the churches stand shoulder to shoulder, each keeping something: a fifteenth-century nativity, a crypt, a bell tower built from the stones of a Roman temple. Above them the Castle has watched the gulf for a thousand years. Beyond the walls lie Monte Orlando park, the Mausoleum of Planco and the Split Mountain. It's all here, sorted by type: pick where to start.
