Rieti - Historical and Natural Treasures of the Region Rieti, a passport to all the historical and natural treasures of the region. A historic center made up of architectural wonders and a history spanning centuries, reaching today: a small gem protected by perfectly preserved medieval walls, through which flows a river of brilliant crystalline colors. "Visit Rieti" tells of the historical figures who have made the city famous over time, of the unspoiled nature to be experienced and discovered, of Mount Terminillo, beloved in summer and winter alike, of the Sacred Valley with its sanctuaries chosen by Saint Francis, now a destination for pilgrimages of all ages, of the beautiful popular traditions and those of the table, of sports, dance, and culture that, year after year, bear the name of the city, an increasingly popular destination for national and international events. Rieti is all this and much more: it's what every tourist gives to the city with every visit, discovering aspects and places that can be experienced and viewed with different eyes each time, and feeling part of the beauty that characterizes it.

Duomo di Santa Maria Assunta, Rieti The Cathedral of Saint Mary, Mother of God The Cathedral of Rieti, dedicated to Santa Maria Madre di Dio and commonly known as the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, was rebuilt on the foundations of the early Christian basilica, documented since the fifth century, between 1109 and 1225. The lower basilica, consecrated in 1157 and striking for its sober and composed forms, is divided into nine naves supported by columns made from the rubble of ancient Roman buildings, among which stands out a milestone of the consular salaria. The upper basilica, in which the architectural lines of the Romanesque plan have remained intact, demonstrates the radical changes resulting from the adaptation of liturgical norms and the change in tastes and styles. Of particular value is the decoration of the main portal, which interprets the motif of acanthus spirals, with clear classical assonance, reinterpreted in the Christian iconography of the Tree of Life.

The three entrance portals to the cathedral and the bell tower maintain the original Romanesque style.

It is a little jewel between the medieval walls and the blue waters of the Velino River.

Going down via Roma you reach the Velino bridge, known however by the same name as the one demolished in the thirties and placed, a little below, on the river bed: Roman bridge.

The patronage “SANTA MARIA ASSUNTA” (in German: “Assumption”) of the Episcopal Church (Cathedral) of Rieti refers to one of the many memorial or festival days in honor of the Mother of God Mary. It goes back to the festival of her physical assumption into heaven, which the (Catholic) Church celebrates annually on August 15th. In the Orthodox churches the feast is called the Dormition of the Virgin Mary. In many rural areas it is customary for bundles of herbs to be collected by the population on this day and blessed during the festival service.

Greccio, located in the Rieti Valley roughly halfway between Assisi and Rome, is - like some other places in the area - a popular destination for pilgrimages, especially by Francesco (Francis) of Assisi. The famous Christmas mass with the nativity scene took place in 1223 in a cave above the place where there is now a Franciscan convent (see https://www.komoot.de/highlight/361263).
