"The Solfatara of Canale Monterano is an important geological manifestation located within the Monterano Regional Nature Reserve, in the province of Rome. This solfatara represents a residue of the volcanic activity of the Sabatini Mountains and offers an interesting example of a hydrothermal phenomenon. It is located along the Mignone river, within the Monterano Regional Nature Reserve".

Temporarily closed for construction until the end of January.

The sulphate is suggestive for the gurgling of the water that emerges.

The church, in a very poor state of conservation, has a façade framed between two twin bell towers which have now almost completely disappeared (only a faint trace remains of part of the one on the left) and has Doric pilasters (false Doric columns in relief) in stucco with a large triangular gable (also called pediment). The roof of the church was octagonal topped by a lantern, while inside it was domed. Opposite the entrance to the church in the center of the square there is still the base of Bernini's octagonal fountain and, after the restoration works of 1995-96, a copy faithful to the original was placed there. Bernini's fountain can today be admired, however, in the square of the Municipality of Canale Monterano. A representation of the church is in a 1781 painting by G. Barbieri in the Altieri palace in Oriolo Romano. https://www.iluoghidelsilenzio.it/convento-di-san-bonaventura-monterano-di-canale-monterano-rm/
