"Passages beneath the houses lead into this unusual enclosed oval space, which occupies the site of an amphitheatre built by the Romans in the 2C, The amphitheatre fell into ruin during the Barbarian invasions and provided a large part of the building materials used during the Middle Ages to reconstruct the town's churches, particularly the marble used for the façades. It was not until 1830 that this space was laid out with the medieval quarter." (Michelin Green Guide Tuscany, 2010).
