A beautiful square with flowering trees in the heart of the Etruscan and medieval city of Viterbo in central Italy - stock photo

Some cherries in bloom create a suggestive and idyllic view of Piazza del Gesù, in the medieval heart of the ancient city of Viterbo, in central Italy. The medieval center of Viterbo, the largest in Europe with countless historic buildings, churches and villages, stands on the route of the ancient Via Francigena (French Route) which in medieval times connected the regions of France to Rome, up to the commercial ports of Puglia, in southern Italy, to reach the Holy Land through the Mediterranean. Located about 100 kilometers north of Rome along the current route of the Via Cassia, Viterbo is also known as the city of the Popes, because in the 13th century it was the Papal See for 24 years.
