There is a small public square, formerly the forum, on which the town hall faces, and also an old church, originally built upon the ruins of the temple of Jupiter.

There were a few other ancient churches and cloisters, such as S.Vito and S.Eleuterio, and other remains of antiquity, which have now disappeared.

There are only two ancient statues left--the figures of two of Nepi's citizens whose names are now unknown--they are on the facade of the palace, a beautiful building dating from the late Renaissance.

Owing to the topography of the region and the general decadence peculiar to all Etruria, the country about Nepi is forbidding and melancholy.

The dark and rugged chasms, with their huge blocks of stone and steep walls of black and dark red tuff, with rushing torrents in their depths, cause an impression of grandeur, but also of sadness, with which the broad and peaceful highlands and the idyllic pastures, where one constantly hears the melancholy bleating of the sheep, and the sad notes of the shepherds' flutes are in perfect accord.
Here and there dark oak forests may still be seen, but four hundred years ago, in the neighborhood of Nepi, they were more numerous and denser than they are to-day; in the direction of Sutri and Civitacastellana they are well cleared up; but there are still many fine groves.
