- Elisa LGeneva, Switzerland41 contributionsSuch a beautiful square, surrounded by ancient buildings and stylish cafes. At night it's a dream , excellent lightingWritten 21 July 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Houlihan2Melbourne, Australia809 contributionsThe ceiling was being renovated when we visited, so it was draped with a large net, but this did not obscure one's view. This is a beautiful cathedral, with magnificent mosaics, located in the Old Town of Ascoli Piceno.Written 5 June 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- kangeliniHong Kong, China1,569 contributionsThis square normally plays second fiddle to "Piazza del Popolo", but is equally worth it. Large and open, great for some group photos. Also many food merchants around and this is where the tours normally meet. You can park nearbyWritten 26 October 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Carolyn WSimcoe, Canada28 contributionsLots of restos and bars / cafes and shopping.....Very typical that all families with children of all ages come out to enjoy after the "siesta" quiet time during the afternoon. Gathering starts around 5 pmWritten 23 February 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- myf_pritchardExeter, United Kingdom12 contributionsOnly 10 minute drive to this pretty village but gate locked so couldn’t access view from church, due to earthquake damage possibly. There is a road to walk further up which we followed for a while and can enjoy the fantastic views. Also restaurant was open at lunchtime in the week. Not a long trip out but worth visiting.Written 15 October 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

Mr. Paggi was very informative and took us through the various parts of the temple connecting his description with the history. St. Emidio's remains were in this temple but later moved to the Cathedral which bears his name. We can recommend this visit as Mr. Paggi doesn't rush you through and if visitors are keen to learn more he can show a video presentation next door with more comprehensive details.Written 11 February 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- SambaMasterQueretaro City, Mexico212 contributionsThis is an ancient, fascinating structure. Lovely building without doubt. However, it is now crowded with (actually beautiful) art which has been recovered from churches in the area damaged the earthquake of 2016. Unfortunately, the interior is too small to accommodate all this extra art which detracts from it's simple beauty. Also, there is now a charge to enter which, probably, was not in effect before the art arrived. But worth a visit, regardless. My sister's father-in-law was baptized in this place in 1921, so there is even a family connection!Written 4 July 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- calabrusAscoli Piceno, Italy655 contributionsForte malatesta is a well preserved structure just outside centro storico. Built by the Etruscans and then the Romans to control the access to the town from the bridge over the river, it was rebuilt by the popes with a famous architect 500 years ago. Now the fortress is a small museum withvarious seasonal expositionsWritten 13 December 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Houlihan2Melbourne, Australia809 contributionsUnfortunately, this romantic little church was closed on the day we were there, but it's history fascinated us. We would have liked to have seen inside it. Built on top of Roman ruins, which are visible on the one side, in a recent archeological dig, a sarcophagus was found with two skulls and one only skeleton, which was very curious. We need to find out more about it. While the majority of points of interest in Italy also appear in English, unfortunately, the explanation about this church was only in Italian, but from the translation it appears that these are the remains of an old woman that were found in 2013Written 8 June 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- PandM_10Great Malvern, UK258 contributionsWhist the title tells exactly what this is there is more to see. If you stay on the city side of the bridge and walk along the wall above the river the views are fabulous, then a little further not the city and you are right into the medieval heart of it.Written 11 April 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
