Capranica is a village in Tuscia, built on a tuff cliff between the Cimini Mountains and the Mignone River valley. Its origins are Etruscan, but the center we see today retains its medieval charm, with narrow streets, arches, ancient gates, and evocative churches such as that of Santa Maria Maddalena. Hazelnut groves, olive groves, and woods extend all around, creating a distinctive landscape. It's a pleasant stop on the Via Francigena, where history and nature meet in an authentic and welcoming atmosphere.

Further information about Maerten de Vos (for the Flemish or art lovers :-): Maerten de Vos, variations Ma(a)rten (1531 or 1532 - 3 December 1603) was a Southern Netherlandish painter. Like his teacher Frans Floris, Maerten de Vos also spent several years in Italy, which is noticeable in his style and use of colour. He stayed in Rome from around 1552. He was one of the favourite painters in Antwerp for the refurbishment of the churches after the Beeldenstorm. His work shows the influence of Jacopo Tintoretto. Works by Maerten de Vos hang in the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, the Cathedral of Antwerp, the Abbey of Grimbergen and the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp, among others.

The church has a rectangular plan with a women's gallery for cloistered nuns, a choir and a wooden coffered ceiling. On the right side wall there is a 16th century painting depicting the "Supper at Bethany" attributed to the Flemish painter Maarten de Vos (Antwerp, 1532-Antwerp, 1603). On the outside it has a simple façade with a finely crafted wooden door set in a 16th century frame. The Carmelite monastery of the Holy Conception is annexed to the church, originally a small medieval castle donated in the first half of the 1400s by the Community of Carmelite friars, already present in Sutri, to the first nuns who professed vows under the Carmelite Rule.

Villa Savorelli (15th-18th century) is the testimony of centuries of history that – from the Renaissance through the Baroque and up to the Romantic Age – have shaped architecture and nature in an evocative ensemble among the most important among the historic villas of the Tuscia Viterbese. Built on 3 floors, with a square plan, it is currently set up to host events and houses the headquarters of the Regional Park. The complex also includes the underlying Italian garden that preserves within it real plant monuments: laurel hedges and centuries-old boxwood specimens. The garden is divided into 3 panels, 2 of which depict the ancient coat of arms of the Savorelli family and the third, the oldest, between the Villa and the Church of the Madonna del Monte. The latter today presents a composite structure in which different architectural styles coexist. Born as a medieval church, originally with a rectangular plan, it was only transformed in 1725 with the opening of the apse, to give the structure a greater sense of perspective; with the consequent creation of the 2 side chapels, the positioning of columns leaning against the walls. The facade was also worked on, developed vertically according to the Borromini style, with 2 bell towers capable of making the church, erected on the highest point of the hill, a soaring building clearly visible from the city. The Savorelli compendium is completed with a forest of centuries-old holm oaks (Quercus ilex) set at different heights, already called the “Sacred Forest” for centuries, in reference to the ancient pagan belief that imagined woods and forests populated by nymphs, goblins and fauns, symbolic personifications of nature's eternal capacity for renewal.

Inside the garden of Villa Savorelli is the Church of S. Maria del Monte, rebuilt by the Muti-Papazzurri family at the beginning of the 18th century only after a special episcopal permit, which bound the family to allow its use by the people. Rebuilt according to a design by Sebastiano Cipriani on the site of a previous building, it has an imposing façade, of Borrominian influence, flanked by two bell towers and surmounted by a tympanum with a broken and recessed frame. Two pillars with projecting pilaster strips delimit the concave central area, in which the portal opens with the large window above. The interior, rather small compared to the size of the façade, is composed of a small hall with a cross plan. The façade, in Baroque style, is flanked by two bell towers while the interior is composed of a small hall with a Greek cross plan.
