This is the medieval heart of Viterbo, one of the largest in Europe, with its peperino houses, characteristic profferli (typical external staircases), arches and towers. Perfect for a stroll through evocative alleyways.
Palazzo dei Papi and Loggia delle Benedizioni
One of the symbols of the city, seat of the first conclave in history (1268-1271). The Loggia delle Benedizioni offers a splendid view over the city.
Cathedral of San Lorenzo
Located next to the Palace of the Popes, it has Romanesque architecture with Renaissance interiors. Inside is the tomb of Pope John XXI.
Called ‘Piazza del Comune’ by the people of Viterbo, it houses the Palazzo dei Priori with splendid frescoes. Inside the building of the Comune di Viterbo you will find a splendid terrace with a view over the city.
