Vicolo Barchetto, 00019 Tivoli RM, Italy

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/

very beautiful village, highly recommended visit

Today it is managed by the farm of the same name which welcomes visitors with rooms and a restaurant.

In Piazza Garibaldi, the heart and arrival point of the Via Tiburtina in the city, the Rocca Pia castle dominates, symbol of the city of Tivoli.

Ancient village of S. Vittorino.....spectacular.

The first inhabited center of Stazzano Vecchio was probably built on the remains of a Roman settlement. The term "Stazzano", in fact, could derive from the Latin statio, with the dual meaning of "place of a garrison", or "Post Station". Even today the origins of Stazzano are not clear but it seems certain that a town developed around a castle, built between the 10th and 11th centuries by the Savelli family, a powerful family that influenced the historical events of this part of Lazio. The castle and the town passed into the hands of the Borghese family between the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Access to the town consisted of a single door that opened between the outermost tower of the castle and the Church of Santa Maria, a distinguishable sign that Stazzano had been conceived as a "village-castle". A terrible seismic event which occurred on 24 April 1901, with its epicenter in nearby Montelibretti and calculated at the VIII degree of the Mercalli Scale, put an end to the peaceful peasant life. From that moment on, the village of Stazzano was inevitably abandoned and the ruins of the houses were used to build the new town a short distance away. https://www.lazionascosto.it/citta-fantasma-borghi-abbandonati-del-lazio/stazzano-vecchio/
