How to get here
The Santa Maria della Scala is located in the heart of the city, opposite the Cathedral. It occupies the entire hillside facing the Duomo, from the summit to the slopes, with its massive rear facade overlooking the valley below. Its location within the historic center, closed to traffic, makes it impossible to reach the museum by car. The closest parking lots are located near the city walls, in particular Il Campo parking lot, Duomo parking lot, and Santa Caterina parking lot, which is connected by mechanized ramps (escalators) to the Cathedral hill.
