Norcineria Laudani: what to see nearby

From the norcineria, Corso Sertorio continues to Piazza San Benedetto. In the center stands the statue of the saint, a work by Giuseppe Prinzi from 1880. Around the square are the Basilica of San Benedetto in Norcia, the Palazzo Comunale, the Castellina and the Co-Cathedral of Santa Maria Argentea. The square still bears the marks of the 2016 earthquake and the restoration of the buildings is proceeding in stages, so it is worth checking in advance whether individual monuments are open.

It is also possible to walk along the 13th-century walls, which have a characteristic heart shape and preserve the old town gates. Porta Romana bears the inscription «Vetusta Nursia».
