Close to Palazzo Comunale is the Castello Farnese with a tower and statue dedicated to Pope Paolo III (born in Canino). Nearby is the Castello Bonaparte, the residence of the important Farnese family. Round the corner in Piazza Mazzini a few years ago, when the council started to excavate the square for an underground parking lot, the remains of a Mediaeval settlement was discovered. Left open to visitors for a few months, the excavations were fully documented by the local archaeological group and then filled in again and covered with lawns.

To the left of the old main street, just off Piazza De Andreis with its fountain, is the area known as "Le Buche": a network of narrow streets and alley-ways containing a public wash-house built by the Farnese family, now used as a community centre.

Further up in the main square, Piazza De Andreis, is the Church of Saint Andrew and John and a twelve-faceted fountain by Vignola. Almost opposite, in Piazza Valentini is the Theatre and some superb Cedar trees. This is where the locals hang out, come rain or shine.
