Spoleto - Rocca

On the east side of the Town Hall in Spoleto lies the tree-shaded Piazza Campello. From here Via della Rocca runs to the Rocca, built in the 14th century as the residence of the Papal governor and now a prison. The castle has two fine courtyards surrounded by a rectangular wall with towers. Below the Rocca Via del Ponte leads to the Porta Rocca, outside which are remains of the old town walls (on the left).
