Adjacent to the tower is the Church of Santa Caterina, in Baroque style. Another old monument is the Domus romana, a private building that dates to Roman times. You should most definitely also visit the Cripta di Sant’Anastasio, which dates back to the 700s. Finally, every 3rd Sunday in September, you can check out the historical parade and the Palio, one of the oldest bareback horse races in Italy.
