コンチェルヴィアーノのおすすめツーリングルート

The Amiternum amphitheater is a solemn testament to Abruzzo's glorious Roman past, located on the San Vittorino plain a few kilometers from L'Aquila. Built in the 1st century AD on the edge of the ancient Sabine city, it still retains its imposing elliptical structure with two tiers of arches that once accommodated up to six thousand spectators. Today, it offers a striking blend of the austere monumentality of ancient brickwork and the rural tranquility of the Aterno Valley.

The bar looks good with the two tarts. Last stop before reaching the top

At this site, you can see the ancient ruins of Amiternum, a city founded by the Sabines. Also in the area, in addition to the theater, amphitheater, and remains of a domus, you can see the remains of the ancient Via Cecilia, which connected Rome with the Abruzzo colonies in the present-day province of Teramo.

The town of Pian de’ Valli, is located in the municipality of Rieti, stands at the foot of Terminillo, at an altitude of 1620 meters, hosts many accommodation and commercial activities, and the departure station of the ski lifts is located a few steps from the center. The famous Terminillo cable car is still in operation today both in the winter and summer seasons and is the historical symbol of Pian de’ Valli.

Traveling along the path of San Benedetto by bike and coming from Rieti, after the climb you find this crossroads. You must take a left for the beautiful village of Rocca Sinibalda.

Fascinating church with a magnificent organ, impressive ceiling, interesting dome, wide staircase...

The abundance of water in the city of Rieti and the recurring floods of the Velino river also made it necessary to build a viaduct to raise the Salaria and cross the river with a solid stone bridge, the remains of which are still visible under the current bridge.

It is a happy alternative to the Salaria, cutting through the village of Canetra.
