The current Palazzo del Comune of Tuscania overlooks Piazza Basile, between the Church of San Lorenzo and the former Church of Santa Croce, currently home to the Historical Archives and the Municipal Library. Previously, the administrators of the municipality resided in the ancient Palazzo del Rivellino, on the hill of the same name; the structure was so called because it was similar to a fortress. Subsequently, the podestà was transferred first to the palace that today is home to the Teatro Comunale, and then to the current one. The latter is accessed via a beautiful external staircase, which features a bronze plaque in memory of the restoration, in 1912, of the ancient name of the city that had been changed by Boniface VIII to Toscanella.

The church and the convent belonged to the Augustinian order. The buildings date back to the end of the 13th century and were completely rebuilt in the 18th century. Of the original church, only the single-nave plan remains, with no internal divisions and a rectilinear apse. The façade, which dates back to the 18th century, has a window on the outside. The interior is characterized by Baroque-style altars. In the apse, behind the 18th-century stucco altar, 15th-century frescoes were found. To the right of the entrance, a Renaissance stone arch gives access to the stone Chapel of San Giobbe, with beautiful reliefs. It is also known as the Ludovisi Chapel, named after the client who had it built in 1486. In the apse of the chapel, there is a fresco from the Viterbo school with a carved stone frame that was painted in 1492 and which represents the Ludovisi family in prayer at the sides of a Crucifixion. Next to the church is the building of the former convent of Sant'Agostino characterized by a beautiful cloister, numerous rooms and, on the upper floor, the monks' cells. It is located within the city walls right in the middle of the town. In 1818 it became the seat of the bishop's seminary, then during the Second World War it was used as accommodation for displaced people. Restored together with the church after the 1971 earthquake, it was finally abandoned around 1980. (c) https://www.cassiciaco.it/navigazione/monachesimo/chiese/italia/lazio/tuscania.html

Fontana Grande, also known as the Fontana di San Giacomo, is a stunning 17th-century fountain located in the heart of Tuscania's historic center. It stands prominently in Piazza Domenico Bastianini and was part of a renewal project led by Cardinal Cambara. The fountain's basin, carved from a single block of stone sourced from a nearby quarry, showcases impressive craftsmanship. (c) https://wanderlog.com/place/details/8697871/fontana-grande

Ancient fountain located in the heart of the historic center of Tuscania, famous for the seven masks that compose it from which the water flows. The coats of arms of some noble families of the time appear on the structure.
