We start from the Rocca Paolina Fortress
and after taking three escalators we arrive in via Bagliona
which ends with Porta Marzia. Then we go back to the
escalators that head to Piazza Italia and Corso Vannucci. At
the beginning of Corso Vannucci we can see the former churches
of Saint Isidoro and Saint Maria del Popolo. After a few
meters we turn right on Via Fani and reach Piazza Matteotti.
Piazza Matteotti, olso known as "Piazza
del Sopramuro" is enriched by the Palazzo del Capitano del
Popolo, home of the high law court during the era of the
Communes and later of the Old University.
We then head down Via Oberdan to the
stairs of S. Ercolano and the S. Ercolano Arch, a 14th
century adaptation of the ancient Etruscan Gate. Further down
we come to the remarkable octagonal tower-shaped Church of
S. Ercolano.
