Well-preserved medieval village with walls that delimit the ancient village to the south. Dating back to the 11th century. they are interrupted by towers with a square base. On the east and west sides, however, they are bordered by two cylindrical towers. In the central tower opens Porta Romana, the only entrance to the medieval center of the town. The characteristic of these walls, in addition to being in peperino stone, is that they are edged with forked merlons with barbicans and loopholes.

Another feature of the village of Vitorchiano are the profferli which consist of external stairs that lead to a balcony which leads to the house. The balcony is almost always supported by a segmental arch.
