The Basilica consists of two parts:
Today, the old town hall is used for exhibitions, and you can visit it free of charge every day but Monday. (It's also closed for lunch and on Sunday afternoons during the off-season.)
Nearby, the Torre di Piazza (see top photo) rises over the Basilica and the square. The slender 11th and 12th Century brick tower, which stands 85 meters or 269 feet high, measures only 7 meters or 23 feet square at its base. Next page: Teatro Olimpico
