Small medieval part of town that has only dead-end streets.

a bit of a tough climb....

Gateway to the scenic waterfalls and Veio Park

The Polline Martignano area is the only territorial exclave of the Municipality of Rome, isolated between the municipalities of Anguillara Sabazia, Campagnano di Roma, and Trevignano Romano, bordered by Lake Martignano and Lake Bracciano. In ancient times, in addition to Lacus Sabatinus (Lake Bracciano) and Lacus Alsietinus (Lake Martignano), there was also Lacus Papyrianus (Lake Stracciacappa), now dried out, and whose dried-up bed is still recognizable. In the Middle Ages, the village of Stirpe Cappe arose in this area, strategically located on the Via Cassia. Today, only the 12th-century Stirpa Cappe Tower remains. The Casale di Martignano, however, dates back to the 15th century. Starting from the sensory garden, where you can refill your water bottle, you climb up the unpaved municipal road. The road runs between the two lakes: Bracciano on the left and Martignano on the right, but you will have to travel a few kilometers to reach Via Polline.

Vista di Polline: where the view takes in two lakes After a climb that tests your legs and breath, the reward is worth the effort: from Vista di Polline, the view opens onto two volcanic jewels—Lake Bracciano and Lake Martignano. A strategic point where effort turns into wonder, and the landscape repays every pedal stroke.
