ロッカセッカのおすすめツーリングルート

The settlement's origins date back at least to Roman times: some scholars believe the name derives from the Latin "Forum Laeta" (beautiful market), indicating the presence of an ancient livestock market and its favorable location along the routes between the Liri and Comino Valleys. Forglieta was inhabited until the 1970s, when the last 80 or so residents moved to larger towns due to depopulation and the closure of services such as schools and shops. The village extends along three main streets, with stone houses, stables, cellars, and a small church (dedicated to Sant'Amasio), built on the ruins of a pagan temple. Today, many houses are in ruins, but some are still occasionally inhabited.

It is the destination of the evocative Cammino di San Benedetto which leads from his hometown of Norcia to the abbey of Montecassino which houses his tomb, passing through Subiaco where the Saint lived for a long time and where the monastery of Santa Scolastica and that of the Sacro Speco are located.

This castle can also be reached from the road that leads from Cassino to Montecassino. The fortification, which dominates the city from a steep cliff (193 m above sea level), was built around the middle of the 10th century by the abbot of Montecassino Aligerno, to defend the abbey.

Beautiful road closed to traffic that follows the Melfa gorges along the path of San Benedetto

Birthplace of St. Thomas Aquinas

Teatro Romano is an interesting open-air museum; a well-preserved complex on the mountainside with beautiful views of the town of Cassino in the valley, although it doesn't offer such a great picture!

Climb that requires training, about 9km at 5/6% average gradient, but the view you see during the climb is worth the effort. Unfortunately they do not allow bikes in and currently there are no parking spaces for bikes, but you can take some photos.

Well-preserved Roman theater, it could accommodate up to 2,500 spectators. Nowadays it is still used for cultural events and demonstrations, especially in the summer period
