洞窟のおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

The Rocca dei Colonna was erected on the highest point of the acropolis in 970 AD. The initial building had a square plan with corner towers also with a square base, and housed a cylindrical tower used as a prison. Some famous people were imprisoned there, including San Berardo, bishop of the Marsi, Jacopone da Todi and Corradino di Svevia. Over the centuries, the fortress was destroyed several times; in 1482, the fortress was renovated and the event is remembered by the inscription on the turret of the small bridge "magnificus dominus Stephanus Columna readificavit civitatem cum monte et arte MCDLXXXII".

The base of the Akropolis trail

Steps away from the main trail, you will find a small waterfall that runs depending on the recent climate time of the year. Look closely, and you will find what appears to be an ancient paved path towards the pools of water.

You can stop for a second to look back at the town. From here there's a beautiful view of the castle illuminated by daylight.

This area is characterized by the presence of various fields full of animals, such as this one on your left where many cows graze blissfully. In front of you, seen from below, the beautiful Rocca di Cave standing out on the top of the hill surrounded by nature.
