パルコリージョナルマルトゥラナムでののおすすめグラベルライド

チビタベッキア-カプランカ間の旧鉄道のこの区間を走るのはとても楽しいです。路面は砂利ですが、状態は良好です。トンネルには懐中電灯を忘れずに。

Viterbo lived its period of major splendor and power in the 13th century when it was chosen as the seat of the papacy instead of Rome, where powerful warring families made life too dangerous. Eight different popes lived in Viterbo making it is similar to Vatican City and Avignon in France. The longest papal conclave in history happened here from 1 December 1268 to 1 September 1271. Following Pope Clement IV's death, infighting between cardinals and political pressure led to a 34-month deadlock. The cardinals were locked up cum clave (hence the word conclave) inside the palace’s large Conclave Hall. In desperation the town’s population, who were feeding them and their entourages, eventually reduced the cardinals’ food and wine supplies, trying to speed up the election. Time wore on and they finally decided to remove the roof of the palace: in order to help the Holy Spirit come down and illuminate them, it was quipped. That worked.

The village of Sutri is located on the Via Cassia, it is worth a stop to visit the wonderful archaeological area and the rock necropolis

Beautiful cycle path on the Via Francigena towards Rome. The path continues across the Cassia under hazelnut groves.

The old railway line is almost completely overgrown.

Beautiful, slightly remote village

the part of the lake side of the ring is closed, the complete circular route has not been done

The Papal Palace in Viterbo served as the Vatican for the 24 years of the thirteenth century when the papacy moved there due to ongoing unrest in Rome.
