Lydia UnicørnAugust 31, 2015Walk past the castle to the piazza with the church, nearly the same view but for free plus you can enjoy a drink and some pizza too.Upvote4Downvote
Michael FuchsDecember 24, 2019Maybe one of the best views of the city, the building itself is pretty uninteresting. The entrance is at Largo S. Martino on the eastern side of the complex.
