Within the walls of the city and evenly scattered throughout the
territory of the township a total of nearly thirty Romanesque churches can
be counted. Not all of them are in a good state of preservation: some are
reduced to scant ruins, and others to vestiges reused in later buildings.
Together, however, they bear striking witness to art and faith, and
constitute an extraordinary museum of our land. Every one of the buildings
among them that retains elements reused from previous structures is a
precious archaeological and epigraphical witness; and some are essential
in reconstructing the ancient road network, both Roman and medieval. |
