Description

Acquapendente: The View from the west highlights the town's location on a rock terrace. On the left of the towns lies the Cathedral of San Sepolcro and in the center, the church of San Francesco, whose prominent bell tower dates from the Renaissance. On top of the hill on the far right lies the Monastero di Santa Chiara, built in 1333 on a site formerly occupied by an imperial fortress. Acquapendente, which in 1499 became part of the Papal States, lies north of the Lake Bolsena on the road that leads from Siena to Rome via Viterbo.
Tarvisio: The fortified city of Tarvisio is seen from the south, in its picturesque setting on the banks of the Sile River with the Alps(11) in the background. The tallest tower in the city is the Torre del Comune(6) on the Piazza dei Signori, which is surrounded by palaces with open arcades. Further left is the cathedral of San Pietro(1). Further left again is the Dominican church of San Nicolo, an example of Romanesque and Gothic brick architecture. The tall, unlabelled tower between the cathedral and the Torre del Comune probably belongs to the church of San Francesco, part of a Franciscan monastery founded in the early 13th century.
The landmarks are numbered and can be identified with the Key in the lower right hand corner.
