Narni underground, with its legends, inspired Lewis Carroll for the creation of the Chronicles of Narnia

A nice stop on the Sabina tour. Great view of the Tiber Valley from above.

It seems that San Cataldo has never actually passed through these places. Yet the legends about the saint are not lacking. It is said that the rock that leads from the hermitage to the valley floor is full of hollows and fissures, marks of the elbows and feet of the saint who went to the stream every day to wash himself. Legends aside, the hermitage is a wonderful example of the union between human architecture and nature. The interior of the chapel and its ancient Byzantine fresco can be visited only during FAI days.

Rocchette is a fraction of Torri in Sabina in the province of Rieti. It originates from the two fortified medieval settlements that were consolidated in the 13th century to control the road that connected Rieti to the Tiber valley and Rome.

The area around Narni was already inhabited in the Paleolithic, and in 300 BC. the citadel returned to the interests of Rome and thus became a Roman colony and strategic center along the Via Flaminia. Today it preserves numerous historical and artistic monuments, such as the Duomo, the Palazzo dei Priori and the Augusto bridge.

Small village where it almost seems that time has stopped. It is positioned on top of a hill with the church of Santa Maria standing out on the landscape.

The small village of Itieli is a fraction of the municipality of Narni. Only the walls and a few towers remain of the ancient castle, and it is surrounded by a rich and wild wooded landscape. The climb to get there is steep, but well worth it.

The Church of Santa Maria in Vescovio is a cathedral of Romanesque origin. The frescoes inside are of considerable importance, it is a quiet and relaxing place thanks to the surrounding pine forest.
