コッレヴェッキオ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Short panoramic walk with an exhibition of military vehicles.

The remains of the ancient Roman city, crossed by the Via Flaminia and lapped by a bend of the Tiber, are set in a natural landscape of remarkable beauty, a perfect synthesis of archeology and nature with a centuries-old history.

On the way to the top of Soratte, just before the San Silvestro hermitage, you can take the path on the left that leads to the small San Sebastiano hermitage, of which modest wall traces remain. The latter was home to hermits in the 16th and 17th centuries, after which it began to be abandoned and fell into ruin. In the rock there is a cavity used to collect water. Short trail but to be followed with care.

This hermitage has a patronal name that is truly on everyone's lips, but only a few will know the person behind it: the feast day of Saint Sylvester (San Silvestro) is December 31st. He lived at the end of the third or beginning of the fourth century and was Bishop of Rome when Emperor Constantine - later generations gave him the nickname "the Great" - recognized Christianity as a religion with the so-called "Edict of Toleration" of Milan, thus ending - at least temporarily - the period of bloody persecution of Christians.

The Eremo di San Silvestro, located at the top of Mount Soratte, offers a stunning panoramic view of the surrounding valleys. This hermitage, one of the numerous hermitages scattered in the Sabina region, stands in a clearing overlooking the beautiful Tiber Valley. Its isolated location far from the town of Sant'Oreste gives it a suggestive atmosphere.

A wonderful place still well preserved, it is worth booking a guided tour

This splendid archaeological park from the Roman era can be visited all year round for free. The park extends for 36 hectares from the nearby bend of the Tiber to under the modern Otricoli. Right on the Tiber river there are still the remains of the used Oil Port active until the 16th century. The remains of what were once thermal baths, amphitheaters and villas are perfectly preserved and extraordinarily integrated into the natural context of the area.

Il bunker del Soratte fu costruito per volere di Mussolini come rifugio antiaereo dove ripararsi in caso di necessità. Una serie di tunnel all'interno della montagna che resistettero ai bombardamenti degli alleati alla fine della seconda guerra mondiale.
