Entering the town by passing through 'Porta Palermo', one of the ten gates
which once opened in the 16th century wall, there is Villa Palmieri Park
 which was layed out on one of the bastiones (there is beautiful view over the western gulf of Termini), within the gardens there are the remains of a Roman building which have been identified as - maybe mistakenly - as the curia. Not far from here, in via Anfiteatro, are the scarce remains of a part of the cavea and some of the pillars of the Roman Amphitheatre. In via Santa Caterina, is a church of the same name (usually closed, apply to the Cathedral for access) dating back to the XIV century. The walls of its interior are decorated with a valuable cycle offrescoes (the Life of Saint Catherine d'Alessandria) described in  great detail in Sicilian dialect. By going down via SS. Salvatore you reach via Garibaldi and from here piazza Duomo.
In the centre of the square a statue was erected, dedicated to the patriot Giuseppe La Masa and to one side of the square is the Termitan Cathedral of San Nicola di Bari, rebuilt during the XVII century. The statues on its facade (the latter having been completed in 1912) date back to the XVI century while afragment of the wal IS cornice on its right isfrom the Roman era.The interiors have been enriched with Renaissance and Baroque sculptures, but the most valuable piece is a XV century cuucifix, painted on both sides by Pietro Ruzzolone. From the square, via Museo Civico leads to the city's museum which has recently undergone restoration, while via Belvedere leads to Belvedere Principe Umberto, where you willfind the Roman Forum and it is from here that you can get a look at the magnificen t views over the city and its port. You can get down to the ower part of town by following the so called "serpentina" Paolo Balsamo (a road which snakes down) along which there are the remains of Roman buildings, otherwise you can go back to the square and follow via Mazzini: on the left of which is the church of santa Maria della Misericordia with its beautiful XV century try ptych depicting the 'Virgin and Child' and SS. Battista and Michele; almost in front of these is the church of the Monte, 1600, used for a long time by the citizens of Termini as a Pantheon. So we reach via Roma which goes down a long flight of steps to the lower part of town. Along the way you pass a Medieval crenellated tower, the ex-Gesuit College, today the Law Courts, the Baroque church ofthe Consolazione with its Serpottinian School stuccoes. Corso Umberto e Margherita starts here, this is the main street of lower Termini, from here also leads off via Porta Erculea which leads to the piazza delle Terme. Here you will find the old spa flanked by the new Grande Albergo delle Terme (the Grand Hotel and Spa), both built on the remains - still visible - of the Roman and Arab spas.
