バッサーノ・イン・テヴェリーナのおすすめランニングルート

The city of Orte stands on a hill 134 meters above sea level and overlooks the Tiber Valley. Thanks to its strategic position it has always been a crucial hub, so much so that even today it is a focal point for both railways and motorways. Orte is a medieval city rich in history and sacred architecture. Every year, from 31 August to the first Sunday in September, Orte is the scene of the historical event commemorating the Octava di Sant’Egidio and its streets take place with games, shows and events.

The community goes back to an Etruscan city, which was probably called Hurta. In Roman times the city was called Horta or Hortanum. The titular diocese of Hortanum goes back to the extinct bishopric with the former cathedral Santa Maria Assunta.

The old town of Orte is located on a high cliff above the Tiber valley. Seen from the river, the old houses crowd close to the edge of the cliff. Some information about the city: https://www.romeartlover.it/locations.html
