One of the city's most distinctive walks is the Rua delle Stelle, officially Via delle Stelle and in dialect «Rrète li mierghie», meaning "behind the battlements". From the Borgo Solestà gate the street follows the course of the Tronto for a long stretch, skirts the medieval district of Porta Romana and reaches the former church of Santa Maria delle Stelle, now a private office.

It was once lined by crenellated walls, on which tanned hides, wool, silk and dyed brocades were spread out to dry; today a long low wall stands in their place, looking over the river and the vegetation covering its high banks. On the other side of the street are low houses and the ruins of medieval workshops and towers, which keep the memory of the old city alive.
