When leaving the railway station, cross Viale carducci and go along Corso Vittorio Emanuele where you will find the Fontain dei Cavalli, (Horse Fountain) inaugurated in 1838. Climb the slight rise on your right and enter into via XX Settembre, the "Contrada Grande" of old, and pass underneath the Dante Turrets (19th century) with a view of the rising Duomo (Cathedral) on your left. The church was built by the Battuti brotherhood in the 14th century. The church interior contains: the Pala del Cima (Cima Altar-piece: Madonna enthroned with Child, Saints and Angels, signed and dated 1493), paintings by Francesco Beccaruzzi and Palma the Young and two lateral altars with high-reliefs by Marco Casagrande. The frescoes on the facade dated 1592 are the work of Ludovico Pozzoserrato.
