Norma. Ancient City of Norba and Polygonal Walls

Norma. Ancient City of Norba and Polygonal Walls

The ancient city of Norba rises on a plateau not far from the modern city of Norma.

A visit is of particular interest for the mighty "Ciclopiche" walls in polygonal arrangement and the suggestion of natural beauty.

You enter through Porta Maggiore still visible, while only traces of the other Ninfina, Signina and Serrone di Bove gates remain.

Norba is dominated by two acropolis on two hills, conventionally called "major" and "minor".

The structure of the city is recognizable and the roads are well preserved and passable.

The ancient Roman baths are present and visible, as well as cisterns, wells, ambulatories and underground passages.
