The Church of Santa Maria Nuova, in the heart of Viterbo's historic center, is an integral part of the neighborhood's medieval urban fabric, nestled among ancient streets and noble palaces. Next to it stands the Zazzera Tower, built between the 12th and 13th centuries as a fortified residence for noble families, a testament to urban life and the prestige of its owners. The church, with its simple façade and intimate interior, preserves frescoes and sacred works, offering visitors an authentic and evocative glimpse into medieval Viterbo.
