were built one inside the other throughout hundreds of years.
4. Santuario di San Luca
5. Ai 300 scalini
6. San Michele in Bosco: it is close to the Santuario di San Luca, so it is quite far too.

to that place: there are 3 arrows on the ceiling at the entrance, but no one has been able to spot all of
them! It is close to Piazza Santo Stefano.
