At the foot of the hill of Monte Li Santi, a few metres from the course of the Treja, the ruins of some structures built of square blocks of tuff appear: they are the ruins of the ancient sanctuary of “Monte Li Santi – Le Rote”. Since 1985, this archaeological site has provided evidence that there was an important temple here, which was constantly visited from the 6th to the 2nd century BC and was dedicated to fertility, childbirth and married life in general. During the excavations, more than 300 painted masks, numerous terracotta heads and a surprising series of iron keys and skewers were found. The artefacts were then housed in the laboratory of the Museo Civico Archeologico-Virtuale di Narce (MAVNA) in Mazzano Romano, where they are currently on display. It was an ancient custom to create cemeteries along roads and around inhabited areas of large cities. The necropolis of Monte Li Santi in Cavone is located directly along a major road cut into the tuff, a “cava” road, from which the name “Cavone” may derive. The necropolis was probably in use since the middle of the 7th century BC, as evidenced by a pit tomb found during the first excavations at the end of the 19th century. The peak of use was between the 6th and 4th centuries BC, when numerous chamber tombs with rock facades (sculpted in tuff) were created. The tombs generally have a small antechamber and a main chamber with niches dug into the wall, which were closed with tiles after the burial of the deceased. A recent project has reopened three burial chambers with decorated entrances.

The Nazzano Tevere - Farfa Regional Nature Reserve extends upstream of the Enel hydroelectric power plant in Nazzano, and includes the stretch of the Tiber river that goes from the power plant itself to the Poggio Mirteto mountain and along the course of the Farfa river up to the Granica bridge .

On the way to the top of Soratte, just before the San Silvestro hermitage, you can take the path on the left that leads to the small San Sebastiano hermitage, of which modest wall traces remain. The latter was home to hermits in the 16th and 17th centuries, after which it began to be abandoned and fell into ruin. In the rock there is a cavity used to collect water. Short trail but to be followed with care.

This hermitage has a patronal name that is truly on everyone's lips, but only a few will know the person behind it: the feast day of Saint Sylvester (San Silvestro) is December 31st. He lived at the end of the third or beginning of the fourth century and was Bishop of Rome when Emperor Constantine - later generations gave him the nickname "the Great" - recognized Christianity as a religion with the so-called "Edict of Toleration" of Milan, thus ending - at least temporarily - the period of bloody persecution of Christians.

The Eremo di San Silvestro, located at the top of Mount Soratte, offers a stunning panoramic view of the surrounding valleys. This hermitage, one of the numerous hermitages scattered in the Sabina region, stands in a clearing overlooking the beautiful Tiber Valley. Its isolated location far from the town of Sant'Oreste gives it a suggestive atmosphere.

A wonderful place still well preserved, it is worth booking a guided tour

Il bunker del Soratte fu costruito per volere di Mussolini come rifugio antiaereo dove ripararsi in caso di necessità. Una serie di tunnel all'interno della montagna che resistettero ai bombardamenti degli alleati alla fine della seconda guerra mondiale.
