ブラッチャーノ湖のおすすめライド

Bracciano is an ideal destination for those who love exploring nature and history. Just a few kilometers from Rome, this corner of Lazio offers a unique mix: the majestic Orsini-Odescalchi Castle, one of the most fascinating in Italy, overlooks a tranquil volcanic lake, perfect for swimming, cycling, walking, or relaxing. The surrounding villages—Bracciano, Anguillara, and Trevignano—offer authentic views, picturesque alleys, and panoramas that change with every turn of the route. A place to slow down, breathe, and enjoy the journey...what am I going to do anymore???

Yes, plenty of views of the lovely lake but let's be honest, the road itself is in terrible condition and drivers think they are on the F1 Circuit.

The beautiful Sutri

The Anfiteatro Romano in Sutri is an impressive archaeological monument carved entirely out of tuff. Built between the late 2nd century B.C. and the early 1st century AD, this amphitheater represents the heart of the Sutri identity. It has an elliptical shape and could accommodate about 7000 spectators. The amphitheater is divided into three rows of seats, separated for different social classes. There are two entrances: one overlooking Via Cassia, and the other, higher up, with a covered walkway. The amphitheater was partially excavated between 1835 and 1838. There are only two other amphitheaters in the world that are completely carved into the rock, in Cagliari and Leptis Magna (Libya).

The Chiesa della Madonna del Parto in Sutri is a unique church carved entirely out of tuff stone. Dating from the 13th-14th centuries, this church was originally a Mithraeum, a temple dedicated to the Eastern god Mithras, from the 3rd century. The church has a square vestibule with frescoes depicting the Madonna and Saints, San Cristoforo and events related to the life of San Michele del Gargano. The main space is divided by tuff pillars into three naves. The church is now an important part of the urban park of the ancient city of Sutri.
