What to see near Il Capriccio degli Dei

The Church of Santi Vincenzo e Anastasio stands on the same square, one of the oldest Romanesque churches in Ascoli. It received Gothic additions in the 14th century. Next to it is the north side of the Church of San Pietro Martire. Set into its wall is a stone from 1613 with the rules that governed trade in the square. The Church of Sant'Onofrio, a short way off, can also be seen from the square.

Around the square there is a medieval house and several noble towers, some intact and some partly absorbed into later buildings. Every year the historical procession of the Quintana sets off from here, after the costumed participants from all the Sestieri (town districts) have gathered in the square.
