Piazza Duomo

    Head west from Piazza Sant'Oronzo along the bustling Via Vittorio Emanuele to Piazza Duomo. Facing onto the square, the Seminario holds an impressively ornate well, with carved stone resembling delicately wrought iron. The balconied Palazzo Vescovile adjoins the Duomo itself, twelfth-century in origin but rebuilt entirely in the mid-seventeenth century by Zimbalo. He tacked on two complex facades and an enormous five-storeyed campanile that towers 70m above the square.
