On Via Carlo Alberto, the carrer major of the medieval town, the Chiesa di San Michele is best known for its maiolica dome, typical of churches in Valencia, another former Catalan territory. The present tiles were laid in the 1960s, but this doesn’t detract from its beauty.
Just before you reach the church you cross Via Gilbert Ferret. This intersection is known as the quatre cantonades (four sides), and for centuries labourers would gather here in the hope of finding work.
