チヴィテッラダリアーノのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

13世紀に建てられたカステッロ・バッリオーニは、高い位置にはなく、その大きさは威厳によってのみ際立っています。この村は元々城の守備隊の家族によって住まわれていたと考えられ、長い間、限られた広さで要塞内に囲まれていました。19世紀になっても、土地台帳によると、30軒以上の家はありませんでした。 詳細はこちら 👇🏻 retedimorestorichelazio.it/dimora/vt/graffignano/castello-baglioni/ https://share.google/YpRf6kRfscjZSd4Ud

Past the old monastery, you arrive at the old hamlet. This elevated village had been depopulated since the 19th century and has become a veritable ruin due to erosion and earthquakes. It was completely abandoned in 1951. The Orsini Castle at the entrance to Celleno Antico is the most beautiful building in the hamlet. It boasts a large watchtower and is surrounded by a deep moat. It was recently restored and inhabited by the artist Enrico Castellani. This internationally renowned artist (he also studied in Brussels) died on December 1, 2017. In the old market square, you'll see a beautiful rectangular bell tower, three-tiered and made of tuff. Only the walls of the old church of San Carlo (17th century), to the left of the castle, remain. Near the market square is the church of San Donato, dating from the year 1000, in Romanesque style, with a beautiful basalt portal. IMG_1306

Easy parking, very nice bar at the start and finish. Panoramic views, ghost town and quiet forests.

The houses in the village are painted with fairy tale themed murals

According to the classic Castrum system, the town of Graffignano developed following the construction of the Castle, built in a strategic position to protect supplies, not only food, between Viterbo and Umbria. In the 13th century, the castle was entrusted to the care of the Baglioni family, already owners of Castel di Piero, now San Michele in Teverina, without however experiencing significant periods of prolonged tranquility: it changed hands several times until it was conquered by Pandolfo degli Anguillara, mayor of Viterbo; whose objective was to weaken the hated Orvietani. The Baglioni family was therefore forced to submit to Viterbo to safeguard their safety. In the first half of the 16th century, Pope Clement VII confiscated the fiefdom due to the continuous internal struggles of the Baglioni family, only to return it to them after a short period. In the seventeenth century the entire fiefdom was acquired by the Borromeo family, but less than a century later, the entire Graffignano, recently transformed into a principality, was sold to Scipione Publicola di Santacroce. In the Republican era the castle became part of the assets of the Municipality of Graffignano, which takes care of it.

fabulously beautiful here, so many beautiful graffiti

I found a very small waterfall. It's artificial, but it's quietly hidden in a secluded spot, so please try to find it!

Castel Cellesi is situated 370 meters above sea level and has around 150 inhabitants. It looks more like a seaside port than a village in the Valteverina, and the facades of some houses are painted in different colors, sometimes bright and intense, and sometimes soft pastels. When the sky is clear, they create striking contrasts; it is like admiring a great rainbow stretching across the Valteverina.
