A walk through the town centre

The town is built on a rocky outcrop, surrounded by the woods in the Timone valley and fields. The main street is flanked by prettily painted houses and palaces. After the main square with its fountain, the road becomes very narrow and crosses a bridge just before the old gate. It then opens up again in a square by the Rocca Farnese, currently privately owned and in the process of restoration. It takes its name from the Farnese family that ruled the whole area in the 15th - 17th Centuries.
