Architecture contained in the city centre is an interesting blend of different eras and styles. For example, you can visit the Piazza del Popolo, or People's Square, which contains many of Todi's most famous sights.
This plaza was built directly over ancient Roman cisterns, many of which remained in use up until just the last century.One of the main sights to see around this plaza is the Cathedral, which is a Gothic building erected over an ancient Roman temple.
What you can see now is what was rebuilt after a fire destroyed the original church in 1190. Visitors can take note of the fresco by Ferrau Faenzone, as well as a rose window added in the 16th century.
