Vicolo Barchetto, 00019 Tivoli RM, Italy

The most unique fountain of all uses a hydraulic organ.

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/

Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2001, the villa, with its impressive concentration of fountains, nymphaeums, grottos, water features and the water organ, is a masterpiece of Italian garden art.

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.

It is a challenging but absolutely wonderful path, to be followed like the ancient pilgrims, in silence and prayer...

The path is dedicated to Pope John Paul II who used to take walks in the little frequented areas of the Prenestini mountains. The route is not very demanding, except in the final part at the foot of the sanctuary, and crosses a wooded area of considerable interest. It is recommended to walk it especially in spring when the bottom of the wood is covered with many species of flowers and the Falconara ditch is full of water.
