The monumental centre of Perugia is represented by the Piazza IV Novembre together with the steep alleys which lead as far as the oldest walls of the original Etruscan nucleus reachable through the ancient gates Porta Marzia, Porta Sole, Porta Cornea, Porta Trasimena, Porta della Mandorla and the Arco Etrusco. The piazza is justly considered one of the most beautiful squares in Italy; it is surrounded by splendid buildings, and in the centre stands the Fontana Maggiore.
