What to see near B&B Casa Patrizia

Piazza del Popolo is overlooked by the Palace of the Captains of the People, the main civic building on the square. Its first structure dates from the 13th century; over the centuries it underwent many changes, including the 1520 remodeling by Cola dell'Amatrice, a painter, architect and sculptor who trained and worked in Ascoli.

For a long time the Roman forum was thought to lie hidden under the square. Excavations beneath the palazzo instead revealed superimposed floors, built between the late Republican period of the 1st century BC and the height of the Empire in the 1st century AD, and above them a large herringbone pavement: perhaps a district of workshops or a covered market. In the Middle Ages the square did not yet exist, and in its place were houses, narrow alleys, workshops and markets.

In Piazza Arringo, in the Sala Mercatori, the Carrozza del tempo ("carriage of time") tells the city's story: its windows are interactive screens that light up with images and narrations about the history of Ascoli.
