Walls of the Queen's Garden

Well-preserved stretch of the Adrianea. The paving is quite regular but be careful on the downhill stretches and when travelling after days of rain because it floods (you can still pass on a single track at the edge of the road)

a stretch of the ancient Hadrian's Road. This road, dating back to 120 AD, started from the port of Minturnae and connected very important cities of the Roman world: Suessa, Teanum Sidicinum, Alifae, Telesia and then connected with Malaventum

The Garden of the Queen is a short path, easily accessible with children and offers the thrill of discovering a place shrouded in mystery. The path starts immediately uphill but is very short (about 800 meters to the destination), for where the difficulty level is really low. You know you're on the right path because there are fences that accompany you and the climb is made easier by steps made from tree trunks. A few meters later, there it was, in the middle of the forest surrounded by trees and covered in green moss. A large wall, made of enormous trachyte boulders, which extends for a perimeter of approximately 250 metres. How many millennia have passed since man laid the first stone here? It is not known, it is thought that the walls were built around the 5th century BC, evidence of the presence of man in very ancient times in this area. It is not even clear what the function was: some speak of a temple dedicated to a divinity from the pre-Roman epic, while others assume it was a military post which had the function of controlling the border areas. Even the name "garden" suggests one of these two hypotheses: "hortus" means enclosure (used in a military sense), or it can also be understood as a sacred place.

Easily reachable by cycling in the middle of nature........

beautiful in this season for the flowering gorse

Stone structure with a dominant view over the entire territory.

Beautiful road with cobbled sections, in case one wants to train for Paris-Roubaix.
