The route begins at the fortified gateway of Porta da Sole, then leads to the majestic Pentagonal Tower —a Ghibelline defensive symbol— and continues along the walls to the breathtaking Belvedere.

The visit continues to the two main churches in the historic center: the Chiesa di San Girolamo, which houses artworks and a 19th-century organ, and the Chiesa del Carmine, characterized by its Baroque dome and finely decorated façade.
