Hala says

The Renaissance city walls run 4.2 kilometres of intact rampart with trees planted on top; you rent a bike at the gate and cycle the full circuit in forty minutes. Below sit medieval towers, the outline of a Roman amphitheatre, churches with Romanesque facades. Lunch at Buca di Sant'Antonio, back by 5.
