The center of Terranuova still has a clearly visible layout of a medieval walled land and inside it preserves a remarkable artistic heritage. Wandering through the narrow and straight streets of the town allows you to retrace the path that makes up the grid of the original urban structure, come across the churches of the peoples who came to live here in the fourteenth century, and admire the palaces of the nobles from Terranovesi from the Renaissance period.
The visit to the historic center can start from the Ganghereta Church located between the current via Mazzini and via Fazia, on which it has the façade; Then, taking via Mazzini up to the intersection with via Concini, you will find the Church of Pernina, today of the Misericordia. Via Concini is one of the roads that have been best preserved and that have less suffered the passage of the front during the Second World War, continuing towards the south, in fact, there is the Palazzo Concini, home of the historic Terranuovese family, the Hospice of the Friars of Verna and, at the crossroads of via Ricasoli, the Chiesa dei Mori. Always following via Ricasoli you will arrive at the Church of the Well, a few meters from the Benedictine Oratory and its Cloister located in via Fazia. Going along this road again to the intersection with Via Garibaldi, you arrive at Piazza della Repubblica, where on the north side you can see the Archpriesthood of Santa Maria Bambino, and on the east side the modern municipal building. Crossing the square towards Viale Piave is located, close to the walls, the new council chamber obtained from the now deconsecrated church of the White Veste, and, just outside the walls, the modern Church of Santa Maria Nova, designed by Mario Botta.
To conclude, we recommend a walk along the main street, via Roma, to discover the facades of the ancient noble palaces such as Palazzo Inghirami.
