An underground watercourse flows along the Strada degli Orti. It is one of the historic canals derived from the Aniene River, known as “underground canals” or “orchard canals”. These canals were built since Roman times to exploit the waters of the Aniene both for agricultural uses and to power the city’s mills and factories. Over the centuries, the system of underground canals has been fundamental for the irrigation of vegetable gardens and the functioning of local production activities. The canal that can still be seen flowing along Via degli Orti today is a testimony to this ancient hydraulic network. There were five main underground canals in the city: Spada, Casacotta, Forma, Brizio and D’Este. The management of the water was entrusted to corporations of millers, blacksmiths and market gardeners. These canals, after having traveled through the city’s subsoil, returned the water to the Aniene through waterfalls and jumps of varying heights. So, the river that passes underground in Via degli Orti is a canalised branch of the Aniene river, part of an ingenious hydraulic system that has characterised the history of Tivoli since ancient times.

A unique historical and spiritual complex, carved into the rock along the walls of the Aniene valley. These hermitages are linked to the figure of Saint Benedict of Norcia, who stayed there briefly in 503. During his time at San Cosimato, it is said that the monks attempted to poison him, but the vessel containing the poison miraculously shattered when Benedict blessed it with the sign of the cross. The caves, accessible via a staircase carved into the rock, include a rock chapel dedicated to Saint Michael the Archangel, rich in frescoes, and an ossuary. The convent above, built later by Benedictine monks, was dedicated to the saintly doctors Cosma and Damiano. This place combines history, art and spirituality in a suggestive naturalistic context.
