In ancient times the street was a narrow passageway covered by the vaults supporting the Palazzo del Podestà, (connecting it to the Canonica), which was destroyed by fire in 1534 and for this reason known as “palazzo abrugiato” (or burned palazzo). On the right is the late 16th century Palazzo del Seminario, which houses the Capitular Museum of San Lorenzo. 

At the end is the façade of the church of the Maestà delle Volte (1580-90), built over an earlier 14th century Oratory, restored and decorated by Agostino di Duccio in 1440-75, of which some splendid remaining fragments of sculpture are preserved in the National Gallery of Umbria. The dome was decorated by Pomarancio (1568). It now houses business quarters.
