Chiesa di S. Giovanni Battista del Gonfalone

Reviewed By Muccu - Island of Malta, Malta

The church is not as well known as teh cathedral and the sanctuary of Santa Rosa but contains one o the most beautiful and ingeniously painted flat ceilings that looks like a vault besides possessing and incredible painting with tow paintings one on either side of the same canvas which, besides the extensive use of lapis lazuli is still apparently a mystery of how it was managed . But the false perspectives of the ceiling are simply incredible . The church is managed by the Confraternity of St John the Baptist who are restoring it and who only ask for a donation for a explanation and guide around the church's treasures. Certainly a must for any art lover

Palazzo dei Papi

The Popes' Palace is the most important monument of the city of Viterbo and it has become a symbol . It was built to mark the transfer of the headquarters of the Papal Curia in 1257 by Pope Alexander IV . Raniero Gatti strongly wanted this building and also built a large audience hall, now known as the "Hall of the Conclave" for the fact of having hosted the first and longest conclave history. Another characteristic part of the Palace of the Popes is the Loggia of the blessings (better known as the Loggia of the Popes) built in 1267: it overlooked the Pope coming from the Hall of the Conclave. Recently it reopened the sumptuous hallGualterio. The Palace is included in the tour circuit of the monumental Polo Colle del Duomo: free of charge with the purchase of the ticket is the audioguide in five languages (Italian, English, French, German and Spanish) that will accompany you in the discovery of all the areas you can visit.

It is unbelievable to see the preservation of this building and the medieval area of san Pellegrino. The Popo left the Vatican only twice in history and one was to move to Viterbo for a while. This event made this town rich in stunning medieval architecture and not only. A must see.

Viterbo Historic Centre

Reviewed By kpiddy - Brisbane, Australia

There are so many wonderful regional towns to visit in Italy, I had never heard of Viterbo until our recent stay in this very interesting town in Lazio. The historical centre which dates back to the eighth century was wonderful to explore, the architecture is quite different mostly built out of grey stone, one and two storey buildings with outdoor staircases, a particular feature typical of this town. We found many delightful piazzas and fountains as well as great cafes, gelaterias and restaurants in Viterbo during our stay. Viterbo was a great town to discover and so close to Rome.
