If you come from Perugia, Terni or Orte you will enter from Porta Ternana (Via Roma) and after 100 m. on the right you can go down to the “Parcheggio centro storico”. If you come from Magliano Sabina instead you will enter from Porta Romana (Via Vittorio Emanuele) and, after passing Piazza Garibaldi, you will find along Via Roma, on the left, the sign for the “Parcheggio centro storico”. From there, take the elevators until you reach Via Garibaldi and then Piazza dei Priori where, near the fourteenth-century fountain, you must take Strada Mazzini and turn left at the first intersection (there are signs for Narni Sotterranea). Enter the public gardens that are next to the “Casa del Popolo”. We are inside at number 12. ON THE NAVIGATOR, SET VIA ROMA AND THEN STOP IN THE HISTORIC CENTER PARKING LOT, OTHERWISE YOU RUN THE RISK OF GOING INTO A ZTL AREA.
