What to see near B&B Covo del Carbonaro

Corso Mazzini holds traces of more than two thousand years of history. Excavations in 2013, carried out during the street's redevelopment, uncovered the paving of the decumanus, a Roman wall more than thirty meters long near the foundations of Palazzo Parisani and Palazzo Gallo, and the remains of the 14th-century convent of Sant'Onofrio, demolished in the early 20th century.

The historic center opens onto Piazza del Popolo in Ascoli Piceno, a pedestrian area and the heart of the city, ringed by porticoes and closed by the apse of San Francesco. Overlooking the square is the Palace of the Captains of the People, a building in which the layers of the city's history can be read back to Roman times.
