自然保護区モンテカティージョの滝・トップ3

A magnificent alternative route back to Rome with breathtaking views of the Villa Gregoriana waterfalls and the town of Tivoli. Always remember to change your angle 🙃😉

The other side of Tivoli offers a magnificent view, a beautiful road, and...the Great Waterfall of Villa Gregoriana, the highest waterfall in Lazio! Some describe it as the meeting of an unruly river and human ingenuity. HERE: https://societageografica.net/wp/2020/05/10/il-fiume-aniene-e-villa

From Tivoli's Gregorian Bridge, you can enjoy a spectacular view of the Aniene Gorge, the natural canyon carved by the river, and the Roman Acropolis with its ancient temples. Looking toward the "old" part, you can admire the houses clinging to the rock and the Temple of the Sibyl, which turns golden at sunset. Here's what you can see from the bridge: The Tivoli Gorge: The Aniene River flowing deep within, part of the evocative Villa Gregoriana Park. Roman Temples: The acropolis with the Temple of the Sibyl and the Temple of Vesta, symbols of ancient "Tibur." Historical Panorama: The medieval and historic houses overlooking the chasm, offering a glimpse of old Tivoli. The Great Waterfall: With the surrounding landscape of the gorge. The bridge itself, built in the 19th century by Pope Gregory XVI, is an iconic vantage point located at the entrance to the historic center.

From this vantage point you have a unique view of the town of Tivoli, the Villa Gregoriana waterfall, and the woods surrounding the town.

GREGORY XVI SUPREME PONTIFF To the most provident prince, since on the ninth of October 1834, in his presence, it was foreseen that from here, with his presence, the excavated canal, which for many years had threatened the city with numerous floods, would be diverted from its waters into the new excavated riverbed, thus forcing the river to flow elsewhere, with a great turnout of citizens and foreigners, amid the applause and acclamations of all, in memory of that very happy day, the Tiburtini, very grateful, on the farm of the Maxima family, placed (this plaque). This inscription celebrates a hydraulic intervention carried out during the pontificate of Gregory XVI (1834), which solved a problem of flooding in the city (Tivoli), with great gratitude from the local citizens.

Monumental waterfall of Tivoli, visible from various points of the city and from some glimpses of Mount Catillo

Best viewpoint of the waterfall. Descent on the optional route but worth a visit
