  • San Pietro. One of the most fascinating churches in Lazio, this basilica was begun in the 8th century and renovated in the 11th-12th centuries. It is mainly interesting for its façade, which includes a superb rose window as well as some most un-Christian-like decorations, including three-headed carvings, known as trifrons. There are also representations of the Church and of Evil.
  • Santa Maria Maggiore. This Romanesque Church also has some fanciful images on the façade.
  • Walls. The city retains most of its medieval walls and some towers that protected the palaces of the important families.
  • The Etruscan Museum. Contains sarcophagi and other objects from nearby tombs.
