    Villa Savorelli (15th-18th century) is the testimony of centuries of history that – from the Renaissance through the Baroque and up to the Romantic Age – have shaped architecture and nature in an evocative ensemble among the most important among the historic villas of the Tuscia Viterbese. Built on 3 floors, with a square plan, it is currently set up to host events and houses the headquarters of the Regional Park.

    The complex also includes the underlying Italian garden that preserves within it real plant monuments: laurel hedges and centuries-old boxwood specimens. The garden is divided into 3 panels, 2 of which depict the ancient coat of arms of the Savorelli family and the third, the oldest, between the Villa and the Church of the Madonna del Monte. The latter today presents a composite structure in which different architectural styles coexist. Born as a medieval church, originally with a rectangular plan, it was only transformed in 1725 with the opening of the apse, to give the structure a greater sense of perspective; with the consequent creation of the 2 side chapels, the positioning of columns leaning against the walls. The facade was also worked on, developed vertically according to the Borromini style, with 2 bell towers capable of making the church, erected on the highest point of the hill, a soaring building clearly visible from the city.

    The Savorelli compendium is completed with a forest of centuries-old holm oaks (Quercus ilex) set at different heights, already called the “Sacred Forest” for centuries, in reference to the ancient pagan belief that imagined woods and forests populated by nymphs, goblins and fauns, symbolic personifications of nature's eternal capacity for renewal.
