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

It seems that San Cataldo has never actually passed through these places. Yet the legends about the saint are not lacking. It is said that the rock that leads from the hermitage to the valley floor is full of hollows and fissures, marks of the elbows and feet of the saint who went to the stream every day to wash himself. Legends aside, the hermitage is a wonderful example of the union between human architecture and nature. The interior of the chapel and its ancient Byzantine fresco can be visited only during FAI days.

Listed among the natural monuments of the Lazio region, the Hermitage of San Cataldo is a small sanctuary carved into the granite rock of the mountains. If the exterior appears very impressive, the interior with its large frescoes is no exception.

Ponzano Romano is a town of about 1000 inhabitants located in the Tiber valley, whose origin seems to be connected to the river. The historic center of Ponzano Romano was built on a river terrace, while the surrounding area is flat to the east and hilly to the west.
