Fortress and historic centre

The Orsini Fortress dominates the upper entrance and houses the civic archaeological museum. Opening hours and access to underground passages vary, so consult current municipal notices. Across town, the Masso Leopoldino provides another elevated viewpoint but involves steep steps.
