Churches on the plan
Among the churches located in the historical centre and along the city’s viewpoints, offering stunning vistas over the Sassi, the Cathedral definitely stands out. The church is dedicated to the patron saints of the city, the Madonna della Bruna and Sant’Eustachio (1230/1270). Must-see sites include the Chiesa di San Francesco d’Assisi, the Chiesa del Purgatorio and the Chiesa di San Giovanni Battista (1233), which is considered one of the most beautiful sacred places in the city. In Piazza Vittorio Veneto, the town centre, the Chiesa di San Domenico, with its outstanding 13th-century rose window, is located next to the Convento dei Padri Predicatori, which today is the official residence of the prefect.
