バッサーノロマーノのおすすめツーリングルート

チビタベッキア-カプランカ間の旧鉄道のこの区間を走るのはとても楽しいです。路面は砂利ですが、状態は良好です。トンネルには懐中電灯を忘れずに。

Small medieval part of town that has only dead-end streets.

Viterbo lived its period of major splendor and power in the 13th century when it was chosen as the seat of the papacy instead of Rome, where powerful warring families made life too dangerous. Eight different popes lived in Viterbo making it is similar to Vatican City and Avignon in France. The longest papal conclave in history happened here from 1 December 1268 to 1 September 1271. Following Pope Clement IV's death, infighting between cardinals and political pressure led to a 34-month deadlock. The cardinals were locked up cum clave (hence the word conclave) inside the palace’s large Conclave Hall. In desperation the town’s population, who were feeding them and their entourages, eventually reduced the cardinals’ food and wine supplies, trying to speed up the election. Time wore on and they finally decided to remove the roof of the palace: in order to help the Holy Spirit come down and illuminate them, it was quipped. That worked.

The old railway line is almost completely overgrown.

The Papal Palace in Viterbo served as the Vatican for the 24 years of the thirteenth century when the papacy moved there due to ongoing unrest in Rome.

The Eel Fountain of Anguillara Sabazia is located right on the panoramic viewpoint overlooking Lake Bracciano, in front of the Baronial Palace, now the seat of the municipality, immediately on the left after crossing Porta Maggiore.
