Walk around Otricoli
Having explored Ocriculum, you approach Otricoli at Porta San Severino.
Just
before the gates, turn left along Via della Valle. The Iron Age walls
(4th century BC) formed the foundations of the medieval
circuit (documented in 1091). The best surviving stretch is
that near the remains of the Rocca [date ???] beside Porta Maggiore
(15th century), the gate at the north of the town.
Palazzo Birelli
[Roman remains in courtyard]
San Salvatore [Date ??]
During the restoration of a fresco (14th century) of the Crucifixion in this church, a number of frescoes (13th century) were discovered underneath. These important works, which are among the oldest to survive in Umbria, are currently being restored. For more information, see the website of the diocese.
Casa Squarti Perla (18th century)

San Giuseppe di Leonessa (17th century?)
The Capuchin St Joseph of Leonessa (1566 - 1612) preached at Otricoli during lent in the Jubilee year of 1600, and a confraternity dedicated to him was subsequently formed in the city. [Is this their church?]. He was canonised in 1745.
