The beauty of Roman parks

Tivoli's Rocca Pia, an imposing Renaissance fortress located in the city center, was built by Pope Pius II Piccolomini starting in 1461 to defend the city and control the population. The structure is characterized by four large circular towers of varying heights, connected by high crenellated walls. Over the course of its history, the Rocca has alternated defensive functions with those of a papal barracks and, for a long time, a prison until 1960. It is currently a tourist attraction located near Piazza Garibaldi and the Bleso amphitheater. WEBSITE: https://visittivoli.it/sito-turistico/rocca-pia/

The Aniene River Park is one of the most interesting destinations to explore by bike in Rome. Along the river, trails accessible to all wind: from flat and relaxing stretches, perfect for city bikes or trekking, to more technical dirt trails, ideal for those who want to have fun with a mountain bike or enduro bike. Pedaling among willow trees, small bridges, and natural views, you'll forget you're in the city: the noise of traffic gives way to the rustling of the wind and the slow-flowing water. A place where every cyclist can find their own pace—from a leisurely ride to a short off-road adventure—surrounded by the greenery and history of Rome.
