The small hill town once had 72 towers, built by rich families in the middle ages. Torre Grossa, the tallest of the surviving towers, was built in 1298 and is 177 feet tall. Climb the stone staircase to the top for countryside views. Palazza del Podesta, the ancient town hall, sports another of the tallest towers, Torre della Rognosa.
La Collegiata, the duomo or cathedral, is in Piazza del Duomo, where there are also 7 towers. Built in the 11th century, La Collegiata’s walls and ceilings are covered with 14th century frescoes. Sant’Agostino, a small 13th century church, is also worth visiting for its frescoes.
