치비타 카스텔라나 최고의 사이클링 경로

Calcata Vecchia에 도착하여 Treja 계곡으로 내려가고 싶은 분들께는, 지도에 표시된 비포장 도로는 절대 추천하지 않습니다. 자전거를 들고 내려가야 하며, 그마저도 쉽지 않은 내리막길입니다. 포장된 주요 도로를 따라 내려가세요.

Out of time

An essential isolated rest area, excellent for a break but also for bivouacking on the banks of the Tiber.

The Church of the Madonna del Soccorso dates back to the 15th century, it is a work of great architectural value, so much so that it was declared a national monument at the beginning of the 20th century (1902). It is said that the project was carried out by Giuliano da Sangallo, a famous architect of the Renaissance period. The church has an imposing façade, characterized by a large staircase and decorated with columns and pillars in peperino, the typical volcanic stone of the area. The central portal is particularly elaborate and above it there is a beautiful rose window. One of the most interesting elements is the mosaic of the Madonna del Soccorso, which replaced an ancient painting unfortunately stolen in the 1930s. The walls of the church are decorated with frescoes by the Torresani brothers, which tell the story of the foundation of the church and religious scenes. Particularly notable is the Cappella del Paradiso, with its frescoes attributed to the Zuccari or Torresani. The Church of the Madonna del Soccorso is not only a place of worship, but also an important historical and artistic testimony. Its similarity to the more famous Basilica della Madonna della Quercia in Viterbo increases its interest for architecture enthusiasts. Furthermore, under the church there is an ossuary where the Augustinian fathers were buried, adding an element of mystery and history to the already fascinating structure.

Magnificent little houses perched on a tuff spur

This stretch of dirt road between Corchiano and Borghetto is truly spectacular. The view ranges from Mount Cimino, Mount Soratte, Monti Sabini and the nearby Mount Cosce. The road is well beaten, up to the quarry near Borghetto, and it is a real pleasure to pedal.
