Trinity Course
In the first half of the 13th century, work began on the walls of the Ancient village of Thattari. The curtain wall had four gates (Gurusele, Santu Flasiu, Capo di Villa, Utzeri) arranged at the ends of two orthogonal axes and opened in the basement of towers and in reinforced sections of the town. Thirty-six crenellated towers as the curtain wall contributed, together with the moat, to make the work more fortified. The gradual demolition of the walls, already heavily marked by time and no longer functional for centuries, ended in the late 19th century with the demolition of the 14th-century Aragonese castle. Today, only short visible sections survive with a few towers along Corso Trinità, in the round tower street, with a circular plan, and in Piazza Sant’Antonio where the only tower with battlements can be seen. In the section of Corso Trinità, coats of arms depicting the town tower, the shield of Genoa and the fleur-de-lis, the symbol of a podestà lineage, are still visible.
