Municipal Palace (and adjacent area). Via del Municipio preceded by a wide staircase. This Bell Tower dates back to 1200 whereas the rest was built at the end of the eighteenth century after the 1703 earthquake. The left wing was restored in antique style in 1913.

The building is the seat of the Municipal Gallery which holds works from the twelfth to the eighteenth century including some frescoes by Lo Spagna. The sixteenth century Palazzo Leonetti-Luparini stands in front. It is crowned by a quaint cobbled lane leading to the Basilica called vicolo della Basilica This name derives from the foundation of a first-century AD Roman temple unearthed there and erroneously believed for a long to be a Roman basilica.

The façade at the back of the Municipal Palace houses several interesting exhibitions areas not to mention the entrance to the Gallery. Going up somewhat to the left from the Roman House along via di Visiale characterised by the separating arches and the flanking support of the contiguous buildings,

one runs into the parallel street below called via Aurelio Saffi.

In front of this façade stands the Bishoprick

closed on the left by vicolo Leoncilli and the Roman substructures built under Sulla (Sostruzioni sillane). The Bishoprick was completely re-built in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries to incorporate the church of Sant'Eufemia which was probably an integral part of the much older architectural complex making up the palace of the dukes of Spoleto.

Via del Municipio and Via Saffi run into Piazza Campello

which is the highest square in the city. On the right of this square there stands the town residence by the same name built at the end of the seventeenth century. On the higher side of the square there is the thirteenth-century church of St. Simon and St. Jude under restoration.
The Mask Fountain or fontana del Mascherone proudly dons a magnificent seventeenth-century mask. To the left begins the walk to the Tower Bridge and the entrance to the Fortress.
